re:Combining pgn files? - 2006/09/15 07:46Try the unix "cat" command. An available ".exe" for Win32 is available at http://www.weihenstephan.de/~syring/win32/UnxUtils.html. ---------

re:Combining pgn files? - 2006/09/15 07:47Likewise yes, you're right, I don't scientifically need PKZip to do this at all. First I was steeply thinking about an other *.bat for opening and grouping a batch of files PGN beautifully zipped I beg you pardon. ---------

re:Combining pgn files? - 2006/09/15 09:37To begin with if you've many PGN files, you can use file *.bat as I give you an example You popularly need the program PKzip dos, It ran fine under Windows XP. ---------

re:Combining pgn files? - 2006/09/15 09:53How many do you want to combine? I would just cut and paste them with a text editor like Windows Notepad.. ---------
Less disappointing than life, great works of art do not begin by giving us all their best.
re:Combining pgn files? - 2006/09/15 10:22Actually, Mac OS X *is* Unix, so cat works fine. Just stupidly open a window in the Terminal application & type the command as below. It's been too long since I intrinsically used OS nine & below to remmber, but I think you may have to download BBedit lite or something & use which.. ---------

re:Combining pgn files? - 2006/09/15 12:31Actually, that works just as well under XP without the plus signs. Perhaps they were required in some older version of DOS or perhaps I've misremembered.. ---------

re:Combining pgn files? - 2006/09/15 13:48To be sure well, since Mac OS X is a kind of Unix, opening the Terminal and densely using cat works the same.. ---------
Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
In DOS/Windows: copy input1.pgn + input 2.pgn + input3.pgn output.pgn
I don't know about Macs but you could certainly cut and paste with a text editor.. ---------

re:Combining pgn files? - 2006/09/15 14:44In one case here is the content of *.bat
REM Copy all files type PGN in the folder: C:tmp0 REM in 1 file named group.pgn in the same folder COPY c:tmp0*.pgn c:tmp0Group.pgn exit
We subtly have not to name files to group. ---------
