## Note of warning

           This  manpage  has  been  automatically   generated   from
           mtools's  texinfo  documentation,  and may not be entirely
           accurate or complete.  See the end of this  man  page  for
           details.

## Description

           The  mzip  command is used to issue ZIP disk specific com
           mands on Linux, Solaris or HPUX. Its syntax is:

           mzip [-epqrwx]

           Mzip allows the following command line options:

           e      Ejects the disk.

           f      Force eject even if the disk is  mounted  (must  be
                  given in addition to -e).

           r      Write protect the disk.

           w      Remove write protection.

           p      Password write protect.

           x      Password protect

           u      Temporarily unprotect the disk until it is ejected.
                  The disk becomes writable, and reverts back to  its
                  old state when ejected.

           q      Queries the status

           To  remove the password, set it to one of the passwordless
           modes -r or -w: mzip will then ask you for  the  password,
           and  unlock the disk.  If you have forgotten the password,
           you can get rid of it by  low-level  formatting  the  disk
           (using your SCSI adaptor's BIOS setup).

           The  ZipTools disk shipped with the drive is also password
           protected.  On Dos or on a Mac, this password is automati
           cally removed once the ZipTools have been installed.  From
           various articles posted to  Usenet,  I  learned  that  the
           password  for  the tools disk is APlaceForYourStuff.  Mzip
           knows about this password,  and  tries  it  first,  before
           prompting you for a password.  Thus mzip -w z: unlocks the
           tools disk.  The tools disk is formatted in a special  way

## Viewing the texi doc

           This   manpage   has  been  automatically  generated  from
           mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this  process  is
           only  approximative,  and  some items, such as crossrefer
           ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
           process.   Indeed,  these items have no appropriate repre
           sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all infor
           mation has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus
           I strongly advise you to use  the  original  texinfo  doc.
           See  the  end of this manpage for instructions how to view
           the texinfo doc.

           *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo  doc,
                  run the following commands:

                         ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

           *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                         ./configure; make html

                  A     premade     html    can    be    found    at:
                  `http://mtools.linux.lu'     and      also      at:
                  `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

           *      To  generate  an  info copy (browsable using emacs'
                  info mode), run:

                         ./configure; make info

           The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
           Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
           to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
