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 +.SH Bugs +.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). +.PP +.SH See\ Also +Mtools' texinfo doc +.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.
