NAME

       mdel - delete an MSDOS file

SYNOPSIS

       mdel [ -v ] msdosfile [ msdosfiles...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Mdel deletes a file on an MSDOS filesystem.

       Mdel will allow the following command line option:

       v      Verbose mode.  Echo the filenames as they are processed.

       Mdel will ask for verification prior to removing a read-only 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:/.

SEE ALSO

       mcd(1)

BUGS

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

NAME

       mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix

SYNOPSIS

       mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile targetfile

       mcopy [ -tnvm ] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] targetdirectory

DESCRIPTION

       Mcopy  copies  the  specified file to the named file, or copies multiple files to the named directory.  The source and target 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 des-
       ignation 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 carriage 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:/.

SEE ALSO

       mcd(1), mread(1), mwrite(1)

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.
