NAME
     mmd - make an MSDOS subdirectory

SYNOPSIS
     mmd [ -v ] msdosdirectory [ msdosdirectories... ]

DESCRIPTION
     Mmd makes a new directory on an MSDOS filesystem.

     Mmd will allow the following command line option:

     v    Verbose mode.  Display the new directory  name  if  the
          name supplied is invalid.

     Reasonable care is taken to create a valid  MSDOS  directory
     name.   If an invalid name is specified, mmd will change the
     name (and display the new name if the verbose mode is set).

     An error occurs if the directory already exists.

     MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either  the  '/'
     or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards
     will require the directory name to be enclosed in quotes  to
     protect it 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:/.

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

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