MD

Command

MD -- Make Directory.

Synopsis

MD [path/]<dirname>

Availability

Within PZTDOS mode only. Non-sysops do not have access to this command.

Description

MD creates a directory with the specified pathname.

If [path] is not specified, the current working path is assumed.

The specified path may be absolute, or relative to the current directory.

Examples

MD fred                  Make subdirectory FRED relative to current one.
MD \usr\pub\packet       Make directory relative to root.

Portability

This command is identical to the MSDOS version except pathnames are case sensitive, both forward and back slashes are accepted in the path, and drive letters are not used.

Limitations

Like "real" DOS, the filename may not contain spaces.
