I╒ve had to download a lot of split .gz files from unix sites recently, and couldn╒t find an easy way to join them on the Macintosh, so I wrote this little program. The program simply reads the contents of each file you drop on it, in alphabetical order, and writes them all to a single file.
I don╒t know. I wrote this program for my own use, and thought that someone else might benefit from it, so I╒m distributing it.
What does the future hold?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If there╒s enough interest, I╒ll add the ability to do ╥smart╙ numerical sorting of file names (i.e. "file01, file02, file03╔" instead of "file01, file10, file11, ..."). Other things to add include built-in gzip decoding and a better interface.
Okay╔How much?
