Join(V1.3) ARP User's Manual Join(V1.3)
NAME
Join - Combines (joins) many files into one larger file.
SYNOPSIS
Join FILES/... TO=AS/a
DESCRIPTION
This program combines several files into one larger file,
which may also be a device such as a printer or modem. Like
most ARP commands, it accepts wildcards as its arguments.
This command will alphabetize the wildcarded filenames
before using them. If you specify only one name, then a
simple Copy will result. Any number of files may be
specified in the command line, and each one may be a
wildcard specification.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Given the added capabilities of the ARP Type program, you
may prefer to use TYPE for joining files rath than JOIN.
JOIN is included for backward's compatibility with batch
scripts. The one advantage of Join is that it runs a bit
faster than TYPE concatenating 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.
