This is the Debian Linux prepackaged version of the mkdosfs the creator for MS-DOS filesystems either on harddisks or on floppies. This package was put together by Martin Schulze , from sources obtained from: sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/mkdosfs-ygg-0.3b.lsm sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/mkdosfs-ygg-0.3b.tar.gz sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/dosfsck.1.tar.z Mkdosfs is copyrighted by Dave Hudson , and was later maintained and improved by H. Peter Anvin . Dave has put the whole package under the GPL. Dosfsck is copyrighted by Werner Almesberger and Roman Hodek. We both together put the package under the GPL. The FAT32, LFN, and Atari format additions are copyrighted by Roman Hodek and are under the GPL, too. Both tools (mkdosfs and dosfsck) have been unmaintained since some time, so I also took them over as upstream maintainer. The merged package is named dosfstools-2.0, and its home site is now ftp.uni-erlangen.de:/pub/Linux/LOCAL/dosfstools On Debian GNU/Linux systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'.
