Hi. Next question.

Most of the unices I've played with have things like "doscp" and
"dosdir" for accessing dos (FAT) floppies.

Does NetBSD have such a thing. If so, could you tell me where
to look on my system (and/or where to get it off the net).

Then comes the question of how to get it onto my machine, given
that I cannot just load it from floppy.

If such a beast doe not exist, is there a port of one that
I could make to NetBSD. Same secondary questions apply.

Thanx in advance.
