WINFX, UTILITIES, Windows File Exchange Utility

The WINFX utility provides the capability to exchange disk-resident
files between OpenVMS and Windows operating systems. It supports the
FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 file systems on floppy disks and partitioned
hard disks, including ZIP disks. It can also construct and access
these file systems within container files.

The WINFX utility works on both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha.
On VAX systems, version 7.1 or higher is recommended, and on
Alpha systems, version 7.1-2 or higher is recommended. It may work
on older versions, but it will depend on the level of SCSI support
in the base operating system and applied ECOs (some work, some don't).
WINFX was compiled using DEC C version 6.2 on Alpha and version 6.0 on
VAX. It was tested under OpenVMS versions 6.2, 7.1-2, 7.2-2, 7.3 and
7.3-1 on Alpha, and version 7.2 on VAX.

The WINFX utility is a command-driven program. Please see the help
within WINFX for detailed information. Following is a brief summary
of the commands it supports.

  DIRECTORY     Lists the contents of a directory. Several attributes
