Name
    mmove - move or rename an MSDOS file or subdirectory

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 mmove command is used to moves or renames an existing MS-DOS file
    or subdirectory.  mmove [-v] [-D  clash_option] sourcefile targetfile
    mmove [-v]  [-D clash_option] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] targetdi-
    rectory

    Mmove moves or renames an existing MS-DOS file or subdirectory. Unlike
    the MS-DOS version of  MOVE, mmove is able to move subdirectories.
    Files or directories can only be moved within one filesystem. Data can-
    not be moved from Dos to Unix or vice-versa.  If you omit the drive
    letter from the target file or directory, the same letter as for the
    source is assumed. If you omit the drive letter from all parameters,
    drive a: is assumed by default.

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.
