See the +end of this man page for details. +.PP +.SH Description +.PP +The \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR command is used to change the mtools working directory +on the MS-DOS disk. It uses the following syntax: +.PP + +.nf +.ft 3 +.in +0.3i +\&\fR\&\f(CWmcd [\fImsdosdirectory\fR\&\f(CW] +.fi +.in -0.3i +.ft R +.PP + +\&\fR +.PP +Without arguments, \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR reports the current device and working +directory. Otherwise, \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR changes the current device and current +working directory relative to an MS-DOS file system. +.PP +The environmental variable \fR\&\f(CWMCWD\fR may be used to locate the file +where the device and current working directory information is stored. +The default is \fR\&\f(CW\(if$HOME/.mcwd\(is\fR. Information in this file is ignored +if the file is more than 6 hours old. +.PP +\&\fR\&\f(CWMcd\fR returns 0 on success or 1 on failure. +.PP +Unlike MS-DOS versions of \fR\&\f(CWCD\fR, \fR\&\f(CWmcd\fR can be used to change to +another device. It may be wise to remove old \fR\&\f(CW\(if.mcwd\(is\fR files at logout. +.PP +.SH See\ Also +Mtools' texinfo doc +.SH 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 +representation 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. +.TP +* \ \ +To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following +commands: + +.nf +.ft 3 +.in +0.3i + ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi +.fi +.in -0.3i +.ft R +.PP + +\&\fR +.TP +* \ \ +To generate a html copy, run: + +.nf +.ft 3 +.in +0.3i + ./configure; make html +.fi +.in -0.3i +.ft R +.PP + +\&\fRA premade html can be found at +\&\fR\&\f(CW\(ifhttp://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html\(is\fR +.TP +* \ \ +To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run: + +.nf +.ft 3 +.in +0.3i + ./configure; make info +.fi +.in -0.3i +.ft R +.PP + +\&\fR +.PP +The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
