       This  manpage  has  been  automatically   generated   from

Description

       The  mzip  command is used to issue ZIP disk specific com­
       mands on Linux, Solaris or HPUX. Its syntax is:

       mzip [-epqrwx]


       Mzip allows the following command line options:

       e      Ejects the disk.

       f      Force eject even if the disk is  mounted  (must  be
              given in addition to -e).

       r      Write protect the disk.

       w      Remove write protection.

       p      Password write protect.

       x      Password protect

       u      Temporarily unprotect the disk until it is ejected.
              The disk becomes writable, and reverts back to  its
              old state when ejected.

       q      Queries the status

       To  remove the password, set it to one of the passwordless
       modes -r or -w: 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 adaptor's BIOS setup).

       The  ZipTools disk shipped with the drive is also password
       protected.  On Dos or on a Mac, this password is automati­
       cally removed once the ZipTools have been installed.  From
       various articles posted to  Usenet,  I  learned  that  the
       password  for  the tools disk is APlaceForYourStuff.  Mzip
       knows about this password,  and  tries  it  first,  before
       prompting you for a password.  Thus mzip -w z: unlocks the
       tools disk.  The tools disk is formatted in a special  way

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 crossrefer­
       ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
       process.   Indeed,  these items have no appropriate repre­
       sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all infor­
       mation 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.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo  doc,
              run the following commands:

                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi



       *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                     ./configure; make html

              A     premade     html    can    be    found    at:
              `http://mtools.linux.lu'     and      also      at:
              `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

       *      To  generate  an  info copy (browsable using emacs'
              info mode), run:

                     ./configure; make info



       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.
