I have recently finished writing mmv, a program to move/copy/append multiple files according to a set of wildcard patterns. This multiple action is performed safely, i.e. without any unexpected deletion of files due to collisions of target names with existing filenames or with other target names. Furthermore, before doing anything, mmv attempts to detect any errors that would result from the entire set of actions specified and gives the user the choice of either aborting before beginning, or proceeding by avoiding the offending parts. The wildcards are csh style, i.e. may occur anywhere in the path. Mmv is going to be posted to c.b.i.p as freeware. I now need some people to test mmv, especially on systems with DOS versions higher than 2.0. If you are up to it, reply to: Vladimir Lanin lanin@csd2.nyu.edu ...!cmcl2!csd2!lanin
