Join(V1.3, 2.x, 3.x in C:)
NAME
Join - Combines (joins) many files into one larger
file.
SYNOPSIS
Join name1 name2.... AS or TO destname
DESCRIPTION
This program combines several files into one larger
file, which may also be a device such as a printer or
modem. It accepts wildcards as its arguments. Wildcards
are only supported under 2.x/3.x. 1.3 MUST have more than
one name.
This command will alphabetize the wildcarded
filenames before using them. If you specify only one
name, then a simple Copy will result. Any number of files
may be specified in the command line, and each one may be
a wildcard specification.
KEYWORDS
name1 name2...
These are the files you will combine. Under 1.3 you
must place at least two names here, with a space between
each name (up to 15).
AS or TO
This is the name of the new file into which the
contents of the other files are placed. This can be a new
file or an old file, but it can't be any of the files
which precede the AS or TO keyword.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
You may prefer to use TYPE for joining files rath
than JOIN. JOIN is included for backward's compatibility
with batch scripts. The one advantage of Join is that it
runs a bit faster than TYPE concatenating large files.
EXAMPLE
1. To combine the three files File1 File2 and File3
into one large file named FILES1-3. Note that the
original files are unharmed.
Join File1 File2 File3 AS FILES1-3
