Amiga Survival Kit (Disk 80) (Feb 1988) : PrinterStuff / PrinterTip

              Here is a tip for printing out multiple files in the
          background:
	      Instead of using the silly print spooler found on
          AMICUS_#8, use one of the built in AmigaDOS commands,
          'join'.  The join command is used to 'join' multiple files
          together into a single file.  Well, how about 'joining'
          multiple files together into the printer file?
	      Thus to print out five files in a row to the printer, in
          the background, simply type: 
	  "run join file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 AS prt:"
	  where file1 through file5 are the five file names to be
          printed.  
	      Finally, if you wish to have each file separated, make a
          file called 'ff' ( already in this directory ) which
          contains just a form feed.  Then type:
	  "run join file1 ff file2 ff file3 ff file4 ff file5 AS prt:".
