The DOS equivilent of that would be:

                          copy a.txt + b.txt c.txt
                                  -or-
                          type a.txt > c.txt
                          type b.txt >> c.txt

There are also a few PD versions of cat for DOS running around that will
do just what you want...  I've got source for one around here somewhere
that's ready to go with TurboC if you're interested.
