Short: Read & list/mount MS-Dos partition-table.
Author: sintonen@iki.fi (Harry "Piru" Sintonen)

Version: 1.1
Type: disk/misc
Requires: OS 2.04+
MountDos11
This is version 1.1 (second, improved & bugfixed release) of MountDos.
MountDos reads the entire partition table of an MS-Dos HD (or alike:
ZIP/JAZZ) connected to the Amiga (either IDE or SCSI). It can (optional)
do three things:
- List the contents of the partition table
- Generate mountlists for the entries in the partition table
- Automatic mount all partitions in the table which are supported by
Cross-Dos.
The device and unit can be specified. Extended partitions are supported.
Source is included (in 'AmigaE'). Kickstart 37+.
New in v1.1
-----------
o bugfixes
- Left orphaned tempfile to t: if some error occured while mounting
-> no further 'mountdos mount' were possible. Multiple simultanous
'mountdos mount' weren't possible. Fixed to delete the tempfile
in all error cases and to generate pseudo-random tempfile filename.
- QUIET-option had a memory leakage. Fixed.
- Didn't check for success from String(), could have crashed. Fixed.
o improvements
- Custom error messages for 'No disk in the drive' and
'Block len not supported'.
- The new options (tooltypes):
PREFIX Prefix to add before mount unit name
The names used for generating and mounting are now composed in the form:
<prefix>MD<unit-number><partition-number>: for dos partitions and
<prefix>ND<unit-number><partition-number>: for non-dos partitions.
For example in s:user-startup:
;BEGIN Mount-ZIP
mountdos blizzppc.device 2 PREFIX "ZIP" MOUNT QUIET
;END Mount-ZIP
