Yeah, DosBox can't do that. I believe it will work if you boot real MS-DOS in DosBox tho.

You can do the equivalent of

1C:\> copy /b file.exe+anotherfile+file2 final.exe

from any Linux shell if you navigate to the DOSBox-mounted directory and issue a

1$ cat file.exe anotherfile file2 > final.exe

Hehe, yeah right. I've forgot, that the drives are normal directories 😦 .
Hope this will work in future versions of DosBox, cause i wrote a little
batchfile to compile and link the programs.
But the workaround works fine too.
Thanks and greets from germany.

oh yeah. I intended to add that. There is a patch on sf.net which adds it, but I didn't like the way it was handled.

what is the syntax btw ? (and in which order does everything appear ?)
can stuff like

1copy a+b

be done ?

Qbix, the (partial) syntax is like the current CMD / copy command:

COPY source1+source2+sourceN destination-file

The /B flag is for binary copy (that is ignore CTRL-Z as End-Of-File marker)

The full syntax is a little more versatile. Check this link: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/msdo … 1.mspx?mfr=true

thank you for the link MiniMax,

1copy a+b

can be done apperantly.
The result will be called "a" in that case
