MS-DOS Commands 99
This command creates a new command called mcopy.exe. Now
you can use the mcopy command the same way you use the
—^ xcopy command, except that mcopy automatically determines
' ^ whether the target is a file or a directory.
Mcopy uses the following rules for copying files:
fi ■ If the source is a directory, the target is a directory.
■ If the source includes multiple files, the target is a directory.
j—K ■ If you append a backslash ( \ ) to the end of the target name,
the target is a directory. For example, the following command
creates the directory a\ workers, if it doesn't already exist,
^^ and copies the file payroll to it:
xcopy payroll a:\workers\
