For those of you having trouble getting the recently ported mount utility
to mount your MS-DOS filesystems, I played around with it a little (very 
little!) this weekend and figured out how to get it to work.  The easy fix
is to remove the "-DUGLY_MOUNT=xxxx" from the CFLAGS line in the makefile, 
and to change "return MASK" in line 221 of mount.c to "return mask;".  I
recompiled and  mounted my MS-DOS 3.3 partition; worked like a charm. 

I am running 0.96c patch level 2, with the mount sources dated July 14 (I
believe) from tsx-11.  I think that UGLY_MOUNT was introduced to get around
a problem with earlier versions of the kernel (0.96c pl1, maybe?), so this
probably won't work with earlier versions of Linux.  I don't know about
0.97.

If everyone else has already figured this out, just ignore this post!
