.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Mcopy
copies the specified file to the named file, or copies multiple files to
the named directory.  The source and target can be either MSDOS or Unix
files.
.PP
The use of a drive letter designation on the MSDOS files, 'a:' for
example, determines the direction of the transfer.  A missing drive
designation implies a Unix file whose path starts in the current
directory.  If a source drive letter is specified with no attached
file name (e.g. "mcopy a: ."), all files are copied from that drive.
.PP
If only a single, MSDOS source parameter is provided
(e.g. "mcopy a:foo.exe"), an implied destination of the
current directory (".") is assumed.
.PP
A filename of "\-" means standard input or standard output, depending
on its position on the command line.

.PP
.B Mcopy
will allow the following command line options:
.TP
.B \-t
Text file transfer.
.B Mcopy
will translate incoming carriage return/line feeds to line feeds.
.TP
.B \-n
No warning.
.B Mcopy
will not warn the user when overwriting an existing file.
.TP
.B \-v
Verbose mode.
.TP
.B \-m
Preserve the file modification time.  (This is the default under Minix.)
.PP
If the target file already exists, and the
.B \-n
option is not in effect,
.B mcopy
asks whether to overwrite the file or to rename the new file (see
.BR mtools (1)
for details).
