(I'm posting before reading all the other answers, so if someone has already sent the same basic info, I do apologize for using the BW.) This may work. I will quote from "The Complete Guide to MS-DOS 5.0 from Hauppauge!" Quote on: COPY _source dest /switches_ ---some text relating to text files removed-- /B indicates a binary file. If this switch is placed before _dest_ DOS will copy everything, including [ctrl]Z characters. End quote. This indicates that without the /b, [ctrl]Z might terminate either the file or the copying procedure, none of which is what you want. I think if I were going to try it, I would write as follows: copy file1+file2 +file3 /b file 123.xyz At any rate, one of these should definitely work, assuming the file is in a DOS-readable format. Remember DOS (and Win 95/98) are not case sensitive, so the /B or /b will either one work fine. Not sure about what you might have on a handheld, but if it's Windows, it should at least be DOS-compatible. --doug On Thursday 29 July 2004 16:19, Patrick Shanahan wrote:

[07-29-04 15:16]: Patrick, unfortunately cat is not available in alternative OS unless it has cygwin installed. And the question was how to concatenate files in alternative OS. The workaround is type, I sent it in another post.
You are correct. I should pay more attention.
copy /b file1+file2+file3 full.fil
should work if I remember dos.... -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
