Thank you very much for everyone who answered my question. (sorry, if the
question was not relevant to this group).
Too many responses to mention.
Here goes the summary.....
----------------------------------------------------------------
On a SunOs 4.1.3, as SuperUser and do the following
mkdir /pcfs
mount -t pcfs /dev/fd0c /pcfs
Solaris 2.x
if you have volmgt then only need to insert floppy
else
mkdir /pcfs
mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /pcfs
Utility to read/write
unix2dos
dos2unix
This is real slow though!
Lot of good recommendation for a pkg called mttols
from archie (freeware), runs lot faster .
Another utility called mntdisk, allows non-root users to mount
floppies.
