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

    NAME
         mread - low level read (copy) an MSDOS file to Unix

    SYNOPSIS
         mread [ -tnm ] msdosfile unixfile

         mread [ -tnm ] msdosfile [ msdosfiles... ] unixdirectory

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

         Mread will allow the following command line options:

         t    Text file transfer.  Mread will translate incoming car-
              riage return/line feeds to line feeds.

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

         m    Preserve the file modification times.

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

         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:/.

    SEE ALSO
         mcd(1), mcopy(1), mtype(1), mwrite(1)

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