-
- Join is a simple shell command to join several files together into one
- larger file. It is designed to use as little memory as possible.
- It is 100% compatible with the CBM "Join" command, but also has a BUF
- argument, for specifying the buffer size (in bytes) to be used. Minimum size
- is 1024 byte and default is 20000 bytes. Join can be made resident.
-
- example of usage:
- join d1:1 d2:2 d3:3 d4:4 d5:5 d6:6 d7:7 as ram:odyssey.lha buf=9000
-
- optimal buffer sizes include:
- reading from DH0: BUF=70000 (hard drives like big buffers)
- reading from DS0: BUF=15000 reading from 15k/s diskspare disk)
- reading from DF0: BUF=13000 (reading from 12k/s normal amiga disk)
- reading from PC0: BUF=9000 (reading from 8k/s DOS disk)
- reading from RAM: BUF=2000 (ram is very quick, but gets full quick)
-
- Enjoy! -Kyzer/CSG
