Subject: best way to append binary files together?

G'day,

Just fishing for the best way to append two binary files together into
another file.

Under normal 'nix I can just "cat file1 file2 >file3", but under cygwin
these binary files are truncated at the first ^z.

I know I can turn off text mode with either the CYGWIN environment variable
or by using mount options, but I'd be interested in what the best way of
doing this is.

Don
