I would sure like to see the JOIN command fixed up so that it doesn't
clobber a file if the same filename is used as both an source and
destination. Of course this enhancement might be considered a bug by anyone
who uses it as a handy way to delete the contents of a file while leaving
its name in the directory. :-)
