NAME
mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
SYNOPSIS
mcopy [ -tnvmoOsSrRA ] sourcefile targetfile
mcopy [ -tnvmoOsSrRA ] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] tar-
getdirectory
mcopy [ -tnvm ] MSDOSsourcefile
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 trans-
fer. A missing drive designation implies a Unix file
whose path starts in the current directory. If a source
drive letter is specified with no attached file name (e.g.
"mcopy a: ."), all files are copied from that drive.
If only a single, MSDOS source parameter is provided (e.g.
"mcopy a:foo.exe"), an implied destination of the current
directory (".") is assumed.
A filename of "-" means standard input or standard output,
depending on its position on the command line.
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 to overwrite the file or
to rename the new file (see the mtools.1 manpage for
details).

BUGS
Unlike MSDOS, the '+' operator (append) from MSDOS is not
supported.
