This is *UNOFFICIAL* update for "Mount" command for MorphOS. This version tries
to fix the following bugs which are present in original Mount utility in MorphOS
(latest MorphOS version at the moment of writing this document is 1.4.5):

1. There can be two types of mountfiles (files which actually describe devices).
   One of them (newer one) uses dedicated fields for every handler parameter
   (Like "Device", "Unit", etc). The second is old-style, using "Startup" field
   to specify parameters for the handler. The problem appears when "Mount" is
   invoked with a mask and meets both types of mountfiles. In this case system
   crash or hangup is possible. This is possible, for example, if you have both
   types of mountfiles in DEVS:DOSDrivers directory.
2. If mountfile does not end with a newline, on some systems Mount refused to
   read it.
3. Original Mount forbids using any GlobVec except -1. But there is also -2
   value which is also valid for handlers written in C. This version supports it
   too. An example of handler using GlobVec=-2 is network filesystem from Envoy
   package.
4. String but not number is a valid value for "Unit" field in AmigaOS, but this
   was not supported in original Mount for MorphOS. This is also necessary for
   Envoy.
5. All values which can be numeric now can be signed, this is now detected
   properly. Original Mount allowed using only unsigned numbers for Flags and
   Startup fields, signed numbers were misinterpreted as strings.
6. AmigaOS 3.x Mount capitalized all device names, MorphOS Mount didn't. In this
   version it is fixed.
