Hello, I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.28
GNU mtools is available for download from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools and the mirror sites worldwide (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for the list of those). The sources can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide mirrors: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.28.tar.gz (519K) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.28.tar.bz2 (426K) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.28.tar.lz (368K) The same directory also contains pre-compiled Debian packages. Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from GNU and Unix without mounting them, to change FAT-specific file attributes (hidden, archive, system), and to format FAT media. Mtools supports W32 style long file names, FAT32, OS/2 Xdf disks and 2m disks (store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2 disk). Mtools also includes mpartition, a simple partitioning programing. It is also a convenient tool to work with disk image files (thanks to the -i flag). For more information on mtools, including links to file downloads, please see the mtools web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools Please email bugs or suggestions to <info-mto...@gnu.org>. Improvements since the 4.0.27 release are: - Support remapping of data (for not-quite linear floppy image files, such as IBM 3174) - Re-open floppy devices read-write if geometry parameters need to be changed - relax consistency checks in mpartition (partitions created by current fdisk would almost never pass these checks) - Fix some compiler warnings Regards, Alain -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
