.SH NAME
mcopy \- copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mcopy
[
.B -tnvm
] unixfile a:msdosfile
.PP
.B mcopy
[
.B -tnvm
] unixfile [ unixfiles... ] a:msdosdirectory
.PP
.B mcopy
[
.B -tnm
] a:msdosfile unixfile
.PP
.B mcopy
[
.B -tnm
] a:msdosfile [ a:msdosfiles... ] unixdirectory
.SH DESCRIPTION
In the first two forms,
.I mcopy
copies the specified Unix file to the named MSDOS file or copies
multiple Unix files to the named MSDOS directory. The last two forms
copy MSDOS files to Unix. MSDOS sub directories are supported with
either the '/' or '\e\' separator. The use of the '\e\' separator or
wildcards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect
them from the shell.
.PP
The use of the 'a:' drive designation on the MSDOS files determines the
direction of the transfer. A missing drive designation implies a Unix
file whose path starts in the current directory
.PP
.I Mcopy
will allow the following command line options:
.TP
.B t
Text file transfer.
.I Mcopy
will translate incoming carriage return/line feeds to line feeds.
.TP
.B n
No warning.
.I Mcopy
will not warn the user when overwriting an existing file.
.TP
.B v
verbose mode.
.TP
.B m
Preserve the file modification time.
.PP
If the target file already exists, and the
.I -n
option is not in effect,
.I mcopy
asks whether or not to overwrite the file.
.PP
The environmental variable MCWD may be used to establish a current
working directory (relative to the MSDOS diskette).
.SH SEE ALSO
mdir(1), mtype(1), mread(1), mwrite(1)
.SH BUGS
Wildcards are only applied to filenames, not to directory names.
Unlike MSDOS, the destination directory may not be omitted.
