If the OS that you are working on doesn't provide a FAT16 filesystem type, you'd have to embed the code required in your application or use something like mtools as an external transfer agent. You can find out more about mtools on <a href="http://mtools.linux.lu/" rel="ugc">http://mtools.linux.lu/</a>.

I &nbsp;saw &nbsp;the mtools &nbsp;documents.<br />
<br />
But I understood &nbsp;that this is &nbsp;supported &nbsp;only on a &nbsp;floppy drive.<br />
<br />
What &nbsp;about &nbsp; CD-R &nbsp;drives or &nbsp;MO &nbsp;drives &nbsp;?<br />
<br />
If &nbsp;it supports &nbsp;MO &nbsp;drives &nbsp;that &nbsp;I really &nbsp;hit &nbsp;a treasure &nbsp;here.

What  about   CD-R  drives or  MO  drives  ?

If  it supports  MO  drives  that  I really  hit  a treasure  here.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
