NAME

     dosread - read a file from an MS-DOS diskette [IBM]


SYNOPSIS

     dosread [-a] drive file


OPTIONS

     -a   ASCII file


EXAMPLES

     dosread C g/adv >adv
                         # Read file g/adv from hard disk

     dosread -a A prog.c >x
                         # Read ASCII file prog.c from drive A


DESCRIPTION

     Dosread reads one MS-DOS file and writes it on standard out-
     put.   The  file  name  must  use  slash, not backslash as a
     separator.  ASCII files have the final CTRL-Z stripped,  and
     carriage return plus line feed are mapped to line feed only,
     the usual MINIX 3 convention.  See dosdir on the use of sin-
     gle letter drive codes.
