The same directory also contains pre-compiled Debian packages.

Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from GNU
and Unix without mounting them, to change FAT-specific file attributes
(hidden, archive, system), and to format FAT media.

Mtools supports W32 style long file names, FAT32, OS/2 Xdf disks and
2m disks (store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2 disk). Mtools also
includes mpartition, a simple partitioning programing. It is also a
convenient tool to work with disk image files (thanks to the -i flag).

For more information on mtools, including links to file downloads,
please see the mtools web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools

Please email bugs or suggestions to <info-mtools@gnu.org>.

Improvements since the 4.0.45 release are:
        - iconv buffer overflow fixes
        - removed references to mread and mwrite (obsolete subcommands
          from mcopy)
        - documented mdoctorfat, and addressed 2 bugs/oversights
        - removed references to obsolete mread and mwrite
        - portability fixes (dietlibc and MacOS X) & simplification
