Thanks to all who replied procedure follows . martin.gabe@ffm3.siemens.de 1. insert diskette 2. mount /pcfs 3. cd pcfs 4. dos2unix <file> <destination/file> 5. umount /pcfs 6. remove diskette you'll have to specify a destination AND a filename when using dos2unix If you want to do the other way (copy to diskette) use unix2dos Bertrand_Hutin@notes.amdahl.com Dos formatted diskettes should be automatically mounted by vold on old Suns. On recent suns, use volcheck to inform Solaris that a floppy has been inserted. If the floppy check is disabled in /etc/vold.conf, mount it manually with mount -F pcfs /dev/fd0 mount-point. Alternatively you can use the mtools package, containing command like the AIX ones. This package should be available on sunfreeware.com. from : Matt Morris: and Matthew Stier [Matthew.Stier@fnc.fujitsu.com] to insert a floppy, type 'volcheck -v' your disk should be then mounted in /floppy/floppy0. You can do normal ls, cd, cp, mv commands to/from the floppy. BEFORE you push the eject button, type 'eject floppy' and it will unmount it for you. From amith Mahajan: Just use cp command to copy file from the floppy to the current directory and then use dos2unix command to convert it to unix format. same for unix to dos conversion use unix2dos command.
