Mmount
======

   The `mmount' command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is only
available on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS kernel allows to
configure the disk geometry. Its syntax is:

   `mmount' MSDOSDRIVE [MOUNTARGS]

   `Mmount' reads the boot sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the
drive geometry, and finally mounts it passing `mountargs' to `mount. '
If no mount arguments are specified, the name of the device is used. If
the disk is write protected, it is automatically mounted read only.
