Dos Formatted Floppy

[TheePres]

Is it possible to copy a file from AIX to an DOS Formatted Disk?? Would someone please explain procedure, or direct me to link?.
Also, I am absolutely new to UNIX so I was wondering if any program similar to Norton Commander is available for AIX. This should help me tremendously as I make transition to UNIX.

Use dosread / doswrite

checkout you man pages - it should be there with examples

To copy a text file from a DOS diskette to the AIX file system, enter:
dosread -a chap1.doc chap1
This command sequence copies the DOS text file \CHAP1.DOC on default device /dev/fd0 to the AIX file chap1 in the current directory.

To copy a text file from the AIX file system to a DOS diskette, enter:
doswrite -a chap1 chap1.doc
This copies the AIX file chap1 in the current directory to the DOS text file \CHAP1.DOC on default device /dev/fd0.
