FWIW the cmd/DOS "copy" command handles file appending. --------------------------------------------------------- > copy /? Copies one or more files to another location. ... To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format). --------------------------------------------------------- It may be worth testing to determine how it does this append - it may already do what you want.
