## 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 syn
           tax:

              mcd [msdosdirectory]

           Without arguments, mcd  reports  the  current  device  and
           working  directory.   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 infor
           mation is stored.  The default is `$HOME/.mcwd'.  Informa
           tion 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 crossrefer
           ences, footnotes and indices are lost in this  translation
           process.   Indeed,  these items have no appropriate repre
           sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all infor
           mation 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  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.
