## 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 mtype command is used to display contents of an MS-DOS
           file. Its syntax is:

           mtype [-ts] msdosfile [ msdosfiles... ]

           Mtype displays the specified MS-DOS file on the screen.

           In addition to the standard options, Mtype allows the fol
           lowing command line options:

           t      Text file viewing.  Mtype translates incoming  car
                  riage return/line feeds to line feeds.

           s      Mtype strips the high bit from the data.

           The  mcd  command  may be used to establish the device and
           the current working directory (relative to MS-DOS), other
           wise the default is A:/.

           Mtype  returns  0  on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on
           partial failure.

           Unlike the MS-DOS version of TYPE, mtype  allows  multiple
           arguments.

## 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  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.
