- COPY
-
- A more complex form of COPY can be used to concatenate data from several
- different files or devices into one file or device.
-
- COPY [/A][/B] [d1:][pathname1]filename1[.ext1][/A][/B]
- [+[d2:][pathname2][filename2[.ext2]][/A][/B]...]
- [d3:][pathname3][filename3[.ext3]][/A][/B][/V]
-
- The options are the same as with the standard form of COPY, except for the
- addition of the + which allows you to specify multiple source files or devices
- for concatenation. The source files will be copied, in the order specified, to
- the destination file, so that no data is overlaid or lost. If no destination
- file is specified, all file(s) after the first are appended to filename1, in
- the order specified.
-
- When concatenating files, the /A option is assumed. The /B option must be
- specified for the output file to contain multiple Ctrl-Z characters. Some
- DOS commands and separately purchased programs won't read past a Ctrl-Z
- character in a file.
