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

    NAME
         mcd - change MSDOS directory

    SYNOPSIS
         mcd [ msdosdirectory ]

    DESCRIPTION
         Without arguments, mcd will report the current device and
         working directory.  Otherwise, mcd changes the current dev-
         ice and current working directory relative to an MSDOS
         filesystem.

         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.

         MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
         or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards
         will require the directory name to be enclosed in quotes to
         protect it from the shell.

    SEE ALSO
         mdir(1)

    BUGS
         MSDOS doesn't use CD to change to another device.

         It may be wise to remove old .mcwd files at logout.
