    NAME
         mren - rename an existing MSDOS file

    SYNOPSIS
         mren [ -v ] sourcefile targetfile

    DESCRIPTION
         Mren renames an existing file on an MSDOS filesystem.

         Mren will allow the following command line option:

         v    Verbose mode.  Display the new filename if the name
              supplied is invalid.

         Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MSDOS filename.
         If an invalid MSDOS target name is specified, mren will
         change the name (and prompt the user to accept or reject the
         new name if the verbose mode is set).

         The path component of the target filename (if supplied) is
         ignored.  In other words, you may not use mren to move a
         file from one subdirectory to another.

         Mren may be used to rename directories.

         MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
         or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards
         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:/.

         mcd(1)

    BUGS
         MSDOS can't use REN to rename directories.
