Name
     mcd - change MSDOS directory



Note of warning
     This manpage has been automatically generated from  mtools's
     texinfo  documentation,  and may not be entirely accurate or
     complete.  See the end of this man page for details.

Description
     The mcd command is used to change the mtools working  direc-
     tory on the MS-DOS disk. It uses the following syntax:

        mcd [msdosdirectory]



     Without arguments, mcd reports the current device and  work-
     ing  directory.   Otherwise,  mcd changes the current device
     and current working directory relative to an MS-DOS filesys-
     tem.

     The environmental variable MCWD may be used  to  locate  the
     file where the device and current working directory informa-
     tion is stored.  The default is `$HOME/.mcwd'.   Information
     in  this  file  is  ignored if the file is more than 6 hours
     old.

     Mcd returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.

     Unlike MS-DOS versions of CD, mcd can be used to  change  to
     another  device.  It may be wise to remove old `.mcwd' files
     at logout.

Viewing the texi doc
     This manpage has been automatically generated from  mtools's
     texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approx-
     imative, and some items, such as crossreferences,  footnotes
     and  indices  are lost in this translation process.  Indeed,
     these items have no appropriate representation in  the  man-
     page   format.   Moreover,  not  all  information  has  been
     translated into the manpage version.  Thus I strongly advise
     you  to  use  the original texinfo doc.  See the end of this
     manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

     *    To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc,  run
          the following commands:

User Commands                                              mcd(1)



                 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi



     *    To generate a html copy,  run:

                 ./configure; make html

          A     premade     html     can     be     found     at:
          `http://mtools.linux.lu'       and       also       at:
          `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

     *    To generate an info copy (browsable using  emacs'  info
          mode), run:

                 ./configure; make info



     The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or  as  html.
     Indeed,  in  the info version certain examples are difficult
     to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
