Name
    mcd - change MSDOS directory

Note of warning
    This manpage has been  automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
    documentation, 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 direc-
    tory.  Otherwise, mcd changes the current device and current working
    directory relative to an MS-DOS filesystem.

    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
    documentation. 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 represen-
    tation 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 fol-
    lowing commands:

     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

    *   To generate a html copy, run:

     ./configure; make html

    A premade html can be found at:  `http://mtools.linux.lu' and
    also at: `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

    *   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 conventions used in info.
