.SH DESCRIPTION
In the first form,
.I mread
copies the specified MSDOS file to the named Unix file.  The second form
of the command copies multiple MSDOS files to the named Unix directory.

option is not in effect,
.I mread
asks whether or not to overwrite the file.
.PP
MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/' or '\e'
separator.  The use of the '\e' separator or wildcards will require the
names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.
.PP
The
.I mcd
command may be used to establish the device and the current working
directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the default is A:/.
.PP
.I Mread
returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on partial failure.
