.SH Description
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fR\&\f(CWmzip\fR command is used to issue ZIP disk specific commands on
|
|
Linux, Solaris or HP-UX. Its syntax is:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.ft I
|
|
.nf
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWmzip\fR [\fR\&\f(CW-epqrwx\fR]
|
|
.fi
|
|
.ft R
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWMzip\fR allows the following
|
|
command line options:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWe\fR\
|
|
Ejects the disk.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWf\fR\
|
|
Force eject even if the disk is mounted (must be given in addition to
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CW-e\fR).
|
|
.TP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWr\fR\
|
|
Write protect the disk.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWw\fR\
|
|
Remove write protection.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWp\fR\
|
|
Password write protect.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWx\fR\
|
|
Password protect
|
|
.TP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWu\fR\
|
|
Temporarily unprotect the disk until it is ejected. The disk becomes
|
|
writable, and reverts back to its old state when ejected.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWq\fR\
|
|
Queries the status
|
|
.PP
|
|
To remove the password, set it to one of the password-less modes
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CW-r\fR or \fR\&\f(CW-w\fR: mzip will then ask you for the password, and
|
|
unlock the disk. If you have forgotten the password, you can get rid of
|
|
it by low-level formatting the disk (using your SCSI adapter's BIOS
|
|
setup).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The ZipTools disk shipped with the drive is also password protected. On
|
|
MS-DOS or on a Mac, this password is automatically removed once the
|
|
ZipTools have been installed. From various articles posted to Usenet, I
|
|
learned that the password for the tools disk is
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWAPlaceForYourStuff\fR\fR. Mzip knows about this
|
|
password, and tries it first, before prompting you for a password. Thus
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CWmzip -w z:\fR unlocks the tools disk. The tools disk is
|
|
formatted in a special way so as to be usable both in a PC and in a Mac.
|
|
On a PC, the Mac file system appears as a hidden file named
|
|
\&\fR\&\f(CW\(ifpartishn.mac\(is\fR. You may erase it to reclaim the 50 Megs of space
|
|
taken up by the Mac file system.

.PP
|
|
This command is a big kludge. A proper implementation would take a
|
|
rework of significant parts of mtools, but unfortunately I don't have
|
|
the time for this right now. The main downside of this implementation is
|
|
that it is inefficient on some architectures (several successive calls
|
|
to mtools, which defeats mtools' caching).

.SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
|
|
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
|
|
documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
|
|
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
|
|
translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
|
|
representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
|
|
been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
|
|
use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
|
|
instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
|
|
the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
|
|
quoting conventions used in info.
