One problem:

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>type /?
Displays the contents of text files.

TYPE [drive:][path]filename


C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>


Meaning it'll stop at the first Ctrl+Z.  It would be different if
there were a /b option to `type'.  `cat' is often used to concatenate
binary files, much as `copy /b foo.0+foo.1+foo.2 foo.out' is.
