  NAME

    mcopy - Copies files between MS-DOS and CLIX

  SYNOPSIS

    mcopy [-tnvm] clixfile a:msdosfile

    mcopy [-tnvm] clixfile [clixfiles...] a:msdosdirectory

    mcopy [-tnm] a:msdosfile clixfile

    mcopy [-tnm] a:msdosfile [a:msdosfiles...] clixdirectory

  FLAGS

    t    Specifies a text file transfer.  The mcopy command will translate
         incoming carriage return/line feeds to line feeds.

    n    Speciifies that no warning is to be given when data is being
         overriden. The mcopy command will not warn the user when overwriting
         an existing file.

    v    Specifies that the command should run in verbose mode.

    m    Preserves the file modification time.

  DESCRIPTION

    The mcopy command copies the specified CLIX file to the named MS-DOS file,
    or copies multiple CLIX files to the named MS-DOS directory.  The mcopy
    command also copies MS-DOS files to CLIX.  MS-DOS sub directories are
    supported with either the slash (/) or '\' separators.  The use of the '\'
    separator or wildcards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to
    protect them from the shell.

    The use of the a: drive designation on the MS-DOS files determines the
    direction of the transfer.  A missing drive designation implies a CLIX
    file whose path starts in the current directory.

    The environmental variable MCWD may be used to establish a current working
    directory (relative to the MS-DOS disk).

  NOTES

    If the target file already exists, and the -n flag is not in effect, mcopy
    asks whether or not to overwrite the file.

    Wildcards are only applied to filenames, not to directory names.  Unlike
    MS-DOS, the destination directory may not be omitted.
