LX Utilities
I'm working on a few utilities for the LX. These should all be considered beta versions right now. Catd in particular is unstable, at least when writing to a flash card, and will lockup the palmtop frequently. I believe it is a problem with speed of writing. Writing to the built-in C: drive so far has worked ok. Writing to the flash card will sometimes work. Running it on a laptop, and writing to the flash card also works without problem.

    * dcat - reads a file from a DOS drive and writes to stdout.
    * catd - reads a file from stdin and writes to a DOS drive.
    * fromdos - converts crlf line endings in a DOS text file to lf.
    * todos - converts lf in a minix text file to crlf for export to DOS.
    * volts - displays the current voltage of the main battery. 

Installation

   1. Download lxutil.zip.
   2. Unzip to the directory which contains your dosminix file. This will create a 64k file called lxutil.mnx which is a small dosminix file system.
   3. Boot minix, but instead of pressing = at the prompt, hit the escape key to enter the monitor.
   4. Type in 'dosd5=lxutil.mnx' without the quotes, and press enter.
   5. Type 'boot' and press enter to start minix.
   6. Login as root, and at the prompt enter 'mount /dev/dosd6 /mnt' to mount the new partition. Yes, that should be a 6, not a 5.
   7. Now you will find the utilities and a README file in the /mnt directory. The README will explain installing the files to your command directories and has a little more information on each command.
   8. After installing the utilities, the lxutil.mnx file is no longer needed. It's only purpose was to transfer the files, and does not need to be mounted the next time you run minix.
