Name
     mcd - change MSDOS directory

Note of warning
     This  manpage  has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo docu-
     mentation, 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 directory on the MS-
     DOS disk. It uses the following syntax:

	mcd [msdosdirectory]

     Without arguments, mcd reports the current device	and  working  directory.
     Otherwise,  mcd  changes  the  current device and current working directory
     relative to an MS-DOS file system.

     The environmental variable MCWD may be used to locate the	file  where  the
     device and current working directory information 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 docu-
     mentation. However, this process is only  approximative,  and  some  items,
     such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation
     process.	Indeed,  these	items  have no appropriate representation in the
     manpage 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:

		   ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

     *	    To generate a html copy,  run:

		   ./configure; make html

     A premade html can  be  found  at	`http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/man-
     ual/mtools.html'

     *	    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 con-
     ventions used in info.
