- NAME
- Join - To combine one or more files into one larger file.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Join FILES/... AS UltimateFile
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This program combines several files into one larger file,
- which may be a device such as a printer or modem. Like most
- ARP commands, it accepts wildcards as its arguments. This
- command will alphabatize the wildcarded filenames before
- using them. If you specify only one name, then a simple Copy
- will result.
-
- REL2 of ARP adds the convenience of multiarguments to this
- command, you may specify any number of files to be joined
- together on the command line, there is no longer any upper
- limit.
-
- ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
- Given the added capabilities of the ARP Type program, Join
- is pretty useless and could be dispensed with. It is
- included for backward's compatibility with batch scripts.
- The one advantage of Join is that it runs a bit faster for
- large files.
-
- EXAMPLE
- Join File1 File2 File3 AS FILES1-3
-
- the above command will combine the three files File1 File2
- and File3 into one large file named FILES1-3. Note that the
- original files are unharmed.
