[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Combining files

When using the copy command, it usually is reccommended that you use the /b
switch when dealing with binary files.  Thus the format would be:
 
    COPY /b file1 + file2 + file3 file4

What this does is treat end-of-file characters as a normal character.  If you
are doing ASCII text, then use the /a switch, as this strips the EOF
character.
