+.PP
+.SH Description
+.PP
+The \fR\&\f(CWmkmanifest\fR command is used to create a shell script (packing
+list) to restore Unix filenames. Its syntax is:
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWmkmanifest\fR [ \fIfiles\fR ]
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWMkmanifest\fR creates a shell script that aids in the restoration of
+Unix filenames that got clobbered by the MS-DOS filename restrictions.
+MS-DOS filenames are restricted to 8 character names, 3 character
+extensions, upper case only, no device names, and no illegal characters.
+.PP
+The mkmanifest program is compatible with the methods used in
+\&\fR\&\f(CWpcomm, arc,\fR and \fR\&\f(CWmtools\fR to change perfectly good Unix
+filenames to fit the MS-DOS restrictions. This command is only useful if
+the target system which will read the diskette cannot handle VFAT long
+names.
+.PP
+.SH Example
+You want to copy the following Unix files to a MS-DOS diskette (using the
+\&\fR\&\f(CWmcopy\fR command).
+.PP
+
+.nf
+.ft 3
+.in +0.3i
+ very_long_name
+ 2.many.dots
+ illegal:
+ good.c
+ prn.dev
+ Capital
+.fi
+.in -0.3i
+.ft R
+.PP
+
+\&\fR
+.PP
+\&\fR\&\f(CWASCII\fR
+converts the names to:
+.PP
+
+.nf
+.ft 3
+.in +0.3i
+ very_lon
+ 2xmany.dot
+ illegalx
+ good.c
+ xprn.dev
+ capital
+.fi
+.in -0.3i
+.ft R
+.PP
+
+\&\fR
+.PP
+The command:
+
+.nf
+.ft 3
+.in +0.3i
+mkmanifest very_long_name 2.many.dots illegal: good.c prn.dev Capital >manifest
+.fi
+.in -0.3i
+.ft R
+.PP
+
+\&\fRwould produce the following:
+
+.nf
+.ft 3
+.in +0.3i
+ mv very_lon very_long_name
+ mv 2xmany.dot 2.many.dots
+ mv illegalx illegal:
+ mv xprn.dev prn.dev
+ mv capital Capital
+.fi
+.in -0.3i
+.ft R
+.PP
+
+\&\fR
+.PP
+Notice that "good.c" did not require any conversion, so it did not
+appear in the output.
+.PP
+Suppose I've copied these files from the diskette to another Unix
+system, and I now want the files back to their original names. If the
+file "manifest" (the output captured above) was sent along with those
+files, it could be used to convert the filenames.
+.PP
+.SH Bugs
+.PP
+The short names generated by \fR\&\f(CWmkmanifest\fR follow the old convention
+(from mtools-2.0.7) and not the one from Windows 95 and mtools-3.0.

+.SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
+This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
+documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
+items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
+translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
+representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
+been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
+use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
+instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
+.TP

+To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
+commands:
+
+.nf

+.in +0.3i
+ ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

+The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
+the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
+quoting conventions used in info.
