I have a little bugette with the mtools on my machine, The first time I installed
bsd they worked fine but due to the installation of a new hd I had to reinstall
and now although I can mread single files from a floppy and do an mdir of a
floppy I cannot mread a:*.* /tmp nor can I mwrite out to a floppy.  When trying
to mwrite I get the error message
       init: open: no such file or directory

even though I am using syntax that worked perfectly before.
Is this a bug or a usage error, If its a bug can anyone send me a working set
of mtools binaries or give me a site where I can ftp them from
