MiixTools v0.1
Here is the first (and very basic) release of MinixTools.
(get it from my web page, here)
For the next version, 0.2, I will probably be trying to fix v2 fstypes for mkfs and
do a basic ‘cp’, that can read files, then I can work on putting files on. And maybe do mkdir/rmdir stuff etc…
This is just the first release with a LONG way to go…
Minix Tools
v0.1 - 20041018

Preamble
========
Minix tools was created around the same idea of MTools.
I wanted a set of utilities that I could use to manipulate MINIX
formatted disk images with under Windows for use with Hobbyist
OS development.

Unsupported Features
====================
Currently multizoned v2 filesystems are not supported yet.
This is the biggest issue right now.
Also MT does not support hard disk images. I dont really
want to faff about with partition tables and slices and such.
Minix Tools was designed to work with disk images of up to about
64mb (Filesystem v1 max size).
