Like this, Harry:
      dos /c copy file1 /A file2 /B

But why mess around with two files?? It's ridiculous. Do this (from XyWrite
CMline):
 dos/nv/x/z /c copy file1/A+NonExistentDummyFileName file1/B
           ^  ^^switch          ^  ^^switch
           ^same_filename <==============> ^same_filename!
              ^plus_sign
Instead of copying, you're concatenating. Pithy. No fuss no muss.

The easiest, automated version, to strip EOF char from current file [U2]:
 zap26
Works in any and all OpSys.

Hi. Bye.
