I believe (at least from my experience) that the mwrite, etc, tools distributed
on the binary distribution do not work correctly.  The MS-DOS tools
on the etc distribution work, however.  You should try d/l'ing those
binaries and trying those.  You can ftp them from agate.berkeley.edu:
/pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/filesystem/usr/othersrc/public/mtools-2.0.5/bin

Hope that helps!
