    MWRITE(1)           UNIX Programmer's Manual            MWRITE(1)

    NAME
         mwrite - low level write (copy) a Unix file to MSDOS

    SYNOPSIS
         mwrite [ -tnvm ] unixfile msdosfile

         mwrite [ -tnvm ] unixfile [ unixfiles... ] msdosdirectory

    DESCRIPTION
         In the first form, mwrite copies the specified Unix file to
         the named MSDOS file.  The second form of the command copies
         multiple Unix files to the named MSDOS directory.

         Mwrite will allow the following command line options:

         t    Text file transfer.  Mwrite will translate incoming
              line feeds to carriage return/line feeds.

         n    No warning.  Mwrite will not warn the user when
              overwriting an existing file.

         v    Verbose mode.  Display the new filename if the Unix
              filename requires conversion.

         m    Preserve the file modification times.

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

         Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MSDOS filename.
         If an invalid name is specified, mwrite will change the name
         (and display the new name if the verbose mode is set).

         MSDOS subdirectory names are are supported with either the
         '/' or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wild-
         cards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to
         protect them from the shell.

         The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the
         current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the
         default is A:/.

    SEE ALSO
         mcd(1), mcopy(1), mread(1)

    BUGS
         Unlike MSDOS, the destination directory may not be omitted.
