Help and/or history for to_flop

See also entry in DESCRIPTION file

Usage: to_flop [options] files
 
	to_flop copies files to the /floppy DOS device on your local machine
	or on a remote machine. Filenames are converted to MS-DOS..
 
	options:	-h	=>	this help screen 
			-c	=>	convert files to DOS (uses to_dos)
			-2	=>	do not use third extension
			-d DIR	=>	write to directory DIR (default=/floppy)
			-i	=>	create index file
			-r	=>	create rename script and rename batch file

	NOTE:	This scripts renames files to valid DOS names. So if you use it
		to copy Pro/ENGINEER models, cross links will be corrupt if
		you don't rename them back to their original names.
		In this case a better practice is to compile the models in
		a single file using tar. Optionally compress the tar file.
		And put the resulting file on the flop using this script.
