Command: dosread - read a file from an MS-DOS diskette [IBM] Syntax: dosread [-a] drive file Flags: -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 Dosread reads one MS-DOS file and writes it on standard output. 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 convention. See dosdir on the use of single letter drive codes.
