WRITE a C program that take two byte counts and two file names, opens the first file for read and the second file for write, does a "junk=fgetc(file1)" for the first count, an "fputc(file2,(fgetc(file1)))" for the second byte count, and then closes both files. Take you probably 15 lines of C code. Run it twelve times with file2 on a clean floppy each time and the count bumped by however many bytes you can jam on the floppy. Put it back together on the Amiga with "type > file3 df2:file2.01", "type >> file3 df2:file2.02" etc. (or use join (bleah!)). Or whatever the syntax of those calls is; I don't do code any more since my brain shut down. Kent, the man from xanth.
