Unless you have configured your system otherwise, the volume manager
can mount your DOS floppy and use regular UNIX commands (like ls, cp,
etc).
From the commandline...
* Insert floppy
* Run 'volcheck'
* 'cd /floppy/floppy0' (Look at /floppy, you will notice that
floppy0 is just symlink to the volume name)
* Do regular UNIX commands.
From CDE...
* Lanch the file manager (or type dtfile from the command line)
* Go to the File|Open Floppy menu choice.
* Drag and drop until you drop.
From Openwin...
* Run file File Manager (or type filemgr from the command line)
* Go to the File|Check For Floppy menu choice
* Drag and drop until you drop
Solaris 2.6 understands the new fancy Win95 extended FAT filesystem
(ie, long file names). Neato.
