I'm going to re-write what I wrote, I dont think many of ya are going to 
know what the heck I am talking about :),

 I receive yesterday a 10 part binary file, and I will like to append 
them together the problem is that I could only use my text edit to append 
5 at a time, due to my low in memory, which I only have 1 meg, anyway I 
now have 2 files with 5 parts in each, each file is over 180,000 in 
bytes, and I was told by using the append command in Dos, I could put 
them together, anyway I will like to know how do I appened them, hope 
this has a better look then my last message (1083)

The text editor probably won't handle binary files. you can use
the doc command:

copy/b part1/b+part2/b+part3/b+.....partn/b combo/b

The 'plus' character appends the source documents 'added' together
and the /b tells dos to strip control-z from end of file and to not
interpret control-z as eof during the copy; and the combo/b tells
dos to not add a control-z to the output file.

Good luck.

append? no! no! no!

append is like "path" but for data files.

that is, if i include in my autoexec.bat

append c:\borlandc\include

then in my editor i can open stdlib.h regardless of where i am and up
pops the file in c:\borland\include (which is a very quick way to get to
a file to look at it, grab text, etc.)

you want

xcopy p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8,p9,p10 together

to build one big file.
