I don't know this "cat" version, but most "cat" versions for the ST work in `text mode', not in `binary mode'. This means they ignore `CR' in a line (not all) and wrote `LF' as `LF/CR' pair. Try this: Wrote your own version of `cat' and be sure that you open the input files and the output file in binary mode! -bernd PS: I use GnuEmacs to recombine binaries ;-)
