There is only one MS-DOS FST. And there is only one MUG! - the only NDA
for the IIgs that can read, WRITE and format MS-DOS disks. And it can
handle partitioned disks like SyQuest and Zip cartridges!

Old fashioned shell users may prefer the MSDOS Utilities - a command shell
interface with (mostly) the same capabilities.

The simplest way to get the current versions is from:

For current users:
MSDOS Utilities v1.40 is complete. MUG! v1.20 has one bug to go.
