mwrite(1)                           CLIX                           mwrite(1)



  NAME

    mwrite - Copies or writes a CLIX file to MS-DOS

  SYNOPSIS

    mwrite [-tnvm] clixfile msdosfile

    mwrite [-tnvm] clixfile [clixfiles...] msdosdirectory

  FLAGS

    t   Transfers text files.  The mwrite command translates incoming line
        feeds to carriage return/line feeds.

    -n  Suppresses warning messsages.  The mwrite command will not warn the
        user when overwriting an existing file.

    -v  Runs the command in verbose mode.  The mwrite command displays the new
        file name if the CLIX file name requires conversion.

    -m  Preserves the file modification times

  DESCRIPTION

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

  NOTES

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

    If an incorrect directory name is specified, mwrite will change the name.
    If the -v flag is set, the new name will display.

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

    The environmental variable FLOPPY may be used to establish a default
    floppy drive other than the device currently linked to /dev/rdsk/fl.
    Valid choices include /dev/rdsk/floppy to designate a 5.25-inch drive, or
    /dev/rdsk/ufloppy to designate a 3.5-inch drive.

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