NAME
     mtype - display contents of an MSDOS file

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

DESCRIPTION
     Mtype displays the specified MSDOS file on the screen.

     Mtype will allow the following command line options:

     t    Text file viewing.  Mtype will translate incoming  car-
          riage return/line feeds to line feeds.

     s    Strip high bit.  Mtype will strip the high bit from the
          data.

     MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either  the  '/'
     or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards
     will require the names to be enclosed in quotes  to  protect
     them from the shell.

     The mcd command may be used to establish the device and  the
     current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the
     default is A:/.

     Mtype returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on par-
     tial failure.

SEE ALSO
     mcd(1), mread(1)

BUGS
     Allows multiple arguments, which does not follow  the  MSDOS
     convention.
