NAME:        COPYAPP


DESCRIPTION: COPYAPP lets you concatentate copies of specified files into 
             one file in an existing directory.  There are NO limits to 
             the number of files which can be concatenated, the size of those
             files, or the size of the resulting file.

             You can use wildcards to identify groups of files from various
             directories.  This lets you pull together similar types of
             files from many locations on your hard drive.

             For example, you could bring several sections of a manual
             which are stored in separate files together in one file.
             You could then print the entire manual just by printing 
             that file.
             

FORMAT:  COPYAPP [\Spath1\]Sfn1.Sfx1...[\Spathn\]Sfnn.Sfxn [\Tpath\]Tfn.Tfx

             Where...

             \Spath1\  [optional] is the complete PATH of the first source
                       file to be concatenated

             Sfn1.Sfx1 is the FILENAME and EXTENSION of the first source
                       file to be concatenated 

             \Spathn\  [optional] is the complete PATH of each additional  
                       source file to be concatenated

             Sfnn.Sfxn is the FILENAME and EXTENSION of each additional  
                       source file to be concatenated 

             \Tpath\   [optional] is the complete PATH of the target
                       concatenation file to be created        

             Tfn.Tfx   is the FILENAME and EXTENSION of the target
                       concatenation file to be created 


             NOTES:    One or more spaces should separate COPYAPP, each
                       source file description, and target file description.

                       If no path is given for a source file, COPYAPP will
                       search for it only in the current directory.

                       If \*\ is the path given for a source file, COPYAPP
                       will search for it in all directories on the current 
                       drive.  ALL copies of the source file which are
                       found will be concatenated in the target file.

                       If no path is given for the target concatenation file,
                       it will be placed in the current directory.

                       If the target file already exists, you will be asked
                       whether the existing file should be overwritten by
                       the new one.  If you respond NO, your COPYAPP
                       statement reappears so you can specify a different
                       target file.

                       If you use improper syntax or specify directories
                       that do not exist, COPYAPP will not execute!!!


                       This SCREEN MESSAGE displays while COPYAPP executes:

                       AAAAAAAAAA...  Files copied 99999   Bytes copied 99999

                       AAAAAAAAAA is "Searching" when COPYAPP is looking for
                       a source file, and "Copying" when COPYAPP is copying
                       a source file into the target file.
                       
                       The two numbers (99999) are continually updated.  This
                       lets you see how many files have been concatenated and
                       their total bytes (ie, the size of the target file).


EXAMPLES     (1) COPYAPP  SOURCE1.DOC  SOURCE2.DOC  SOURCE3.DOC  TARGET.DOC

             This searches the current directory for the three source
             files listed and concatenates whichever ones it finds into
             file TARGET.DOC in the current directory.


             (2) COPYAPP  DIR1\*.TXT  TARGET.TXT

             This searches the DIR1 directory for all files with an 
             extension of TXT and concatenates them into file TARGET.TXT 
             in the current directory.


             (3) COPYAPP  \*\PRINT.*  \PRINTDIR\NEWFILE.PRT 

             This searches all directories for all files named PRINT
             and concatenates them into file NEWFILE.PRT in the PRINTDIR 
             directory.
