NAME
     mdir - display an MSDOS directory

SYNOPSIS
     mdir [ -w ] msdosdirectory

     mdir [ -w ] msdosfile [ msdosfiles...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     Mdir displays the contents of an MSDOS directory.

     Mdir will allow the following command line option:

     w    Wide output.  This  option  will  print  the  filenames
          across  the  page  without  displaying the file size or
          creation date.

     An error occurs if a component of the path is not  a  direc-
     tory.

     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:/.

     Mdir returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on  par-
     tial failure.

     mcd(1)

BUGS
     Allows multiple arguments, which does not follow  the  MSDOS
     convention.

     There is no /P (pause) option.
