     NAME
            Join - Combines (joins) many files into one larger 
        file.

     SYNOPSIS
            Join name1 name2.... AS or TO destname

     DESCRIPTION
            This program combines several files into one larger 
        file, which may also be a device such as a printer or 
        modem.  It accepts wildcards as its arguments. Wildcards 
        are only supported under 2.x/3.x. 1.3 MUST have more than 
        one name.

            This command will alphabetize the wildcarded 
        filenames before using them. If you specify only one 
        name, then a simple Copy will result. Any number of files 
        may be specified in the command line, and each one may be 
        a wildcard specification.

	 KEYWORDS
		  name1 name2...
            These are the files you will combine. Under 1.3 you 
        must place at least two names here, with a space between 
        each name (up to 15). 


          AS or TO
            This is the name of the new file into which the 
        contents of the other files are placed. This can be a new 
        file or an old file, but it can't be any of the files 
        which precede the AS or TO keyword. 

     ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
            You may prefer to use TYPE for joining files rath 
        than JOIN.  JOIN is included for backward's compatibility 
        with batch scripts. The one advantage of Join is that it 
        runs a bit faster than TYPE concatenating large files.

     EXAMPLE

            1. To combine the three files File1 File2 and File3 
        into one large file named FILES1-3.  Note that the 
        original files are unharmed.

            Join File1 File2 File3 AS FILES1-3
