16 The mmove command is used to move or rename an existing MS-DOS file or
17 subdirectory.
18 mmove [-v] [-D clash_option] sourcefile targetfile
19 mmove [-v] [-D clash_option] sourcefile [ sourcefiles... ] targetdirectory

21 Mmove moves or renames an existing MS-DOS file or subdirectory. Unlike
22 the MS-DOS version of MOVE, mmove is able to move subdirectories.
23 Files or directories can only be moved within one file system. Data
24 cannot be moved from MS-DOS to Unix or vice-versa. If you omit the
25 drive letter from the target file or directory, the same letter as for
26 the source is assumed. If you omit the drive letter from all parame‐
27 ters, drive a: is assumed by default.

30 Mtools' texinfo doc
31
33 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
34 documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
35 items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
36 translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate represen‐
37 tation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
38 translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use
39 the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions
40 how to view the texinfo doc.

42 * To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol‐
43 lowing commands:
44
45 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

49 * To generate a html copy, run:
50
51 ./configure; make html
52
53 A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/man‐
54 ual/mtools.html'
55
56 * To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
57 run:
58
59 ./configure; make info

63 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
64 the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
65 quoting conventions used in info.
