NAME
mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
SYNOPSIS
mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile targetfile
mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] targetdirec-
tory
DESCRIPTION
Mcopy copies the specified file to the named file, or copies
multiple files to the named directory. The source and tar-
get can be either MSDOS or Unix files.
The use of a drive letter designation on the MSDOS files,
'a:' for example, determines the direction of the transfer.
A missing drive designation implies a Unix file whose path
starts in the current directory
Mcopy will allow the following command line options:
t Text file transfer. Mcopy will translate incoming car-
riage return/line feeds to line feeds.
n No warning. Mcopy will not warn the user when
overwriting an existing file.
v Verbose mode.
m Preserve the file modification time.
If the target file already exists, and the -n option is not
in effect, mcopy asks whether or not to overwrite the file.
MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or wildcards
will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect
them from the shell.
The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the
current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the
default is A:/.
Mcopy returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on par-
tial failure.

BUGS
Unlike MSDOS, the destination directory may not be omitted.
The '+' operator (append) from MSDOS is not supported.
No other Mtools command requires the use of a drive letter
designation on MSDOS files.
