NAME

mwrite - write (copy) a Unix file to MSDOS

SYNOPSIS

mwrite [ -t | -n ] unixfile msdosfile

mwrite [ -t | -n ] unixfile [ unixfiles... ] msdosdirectory

DESCRIPTION

In the first form, mwrite copies the specified Unix file to the named MSDOS file. The second form of the command copies multiple Unix files to the named MSDOS directory. MSDOS sub directories are are supported with either the '/' or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.

Mwrite will accept the following command line options:

t: Text file transfer. Mwrite will translate incoming line feeds to carriage return/line feeds.
n: No warning. Mwrite will not warn the user when overwriting an existing file.

If the target file already exists, and the -n option is not in effect, mwrite asks whether or not to overwrite the file.

Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MSDOS filename. If an invalid name is specified, mwrite will change the name and display the new name.

The environmental variable MCWD may be used to establish a current working directory (relative to the MSDOS diskette).
