That used to be, for me, copy file1.txt+file2.txt>>newfile.txt, or
something very close. It might even work in Windows under the cmd.exe
DOS emulation mode. I think in Linux/UNIX it would be CAT
file1,file2>>(|)newfile. There have been postings on the e-book groups
that have pdf001, pdf002, etc. where the method of making the whole pdf
file is just to copy them together into one file which is the original
pdf file. Play around and learn something, it never hurts.
