Download MTOOLS UNIX/NT

From this page you can download the latest MTOOLs software.

You will need a password to unzip the release - the password can be obtained from Artwork Conversion Software by email or fax. The password protects the unzipping - you will also need key code strings specific to your machine to be able to execute MTOOLs.

Click to download the version you want. Then email us with your name, organization, address, phone, fax etc.... and your hostid and hostname. We'll email the unzipping password and a set of temporary key strings.

Sample EMAIL Request

Dear Customer Support,

I would like to evaluate Mtools on Solaris. I've already picked
it off your ftp site. Please send me the unzipping password.

My hostid and hostname are:

$ hostid
  20056789ab

$hostname
 bogusboy

I am currently evaluating HP EEsof Series IV
and need a 30 day key string.

Thanks much,

zip_sunos.tar [500 kbytes]


zip_hp700.tar [375 kbytes]


zip_solaris.tar [389 kbytes]



untar it into your /usr/local/bin or somewhere in your PATH. Once installed in your PATH you can simply use it by typing:unzip filename. This program is compatible with PKZIP compression used on PCs.

Installing the Software

After unzipping you will have the same set of program files that you would have obtained from tape by using the tar command. Look for the script file INSTALL and execute by typing:

$ ./INSTALL [enter]

If this is the first time you are installing MTOOLs we recommend that you get the installation instructions called uinstall.doc, (above) and read them prior to starting.
