NAME

mren - rename an existing MSDOS file  

SYNOPSIS

mren sourcefile targetfile  

DESCRIPTION

Mren renames an existing file on a MSDOS formatted diskette. Sub directories are supported with either the '/' or '\' separator. The use of the '\' separator or wildcards will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect them from the shell.

Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MSDOS filename. If an invalid MSDOS target name is specified, mren will change the name and prompt the user to accept or reject the new name.

The path component of the target filename (if supplied) is ignored. In other words, you may not use mren to move a file from one sub directory to another.

Mren may also be used to rename directories.

The environmental variable MCWD may be used to establish a current working directory (relative to the MSDOS diskette).
