Joining two or more binary files together
Is there a way to join two or more binary files together without corrupting the data?
I've searched the forums, and googled etc. but the only commands that get mentioned are 'cat', which only works for text files and 'join'. According to the man pages join is a 'relational database operator', nothing to do with merging binary files together (as far as I can see anyway).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark.
PS: Using ksh on HP UNIX if that makes any difference.

tk_getjoinstyle
Tk_GetJoinStyle(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_GetJoinStyle(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_GetJoinStyle, Tk_NameOfJoinStyle - translate between strings and join styles
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
int
Tk_GetJoinStyle(interp, string, joinPtr)
const char *
Tk_NameOfJoinStyle(join)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for error reporting.
const char *string (in) String containing name of join style: one of "bevel", "miter", or "round".
int *joinPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store X join style corresponding to string.
int join (in) Join style: one of JoinBevel, JoinMiter, JoinRound.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetJoinStyle places in *joinPtr the X join style corresponding to string, which will be one of JoinBevel, JoinMiter, or JoinRound. Join
styles are typically used in X graphics contexts to indicate how adjacent line segments should be joined together. See the X documentation
for information on what each style implies.
Under normal circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and interp is unused. If string does not contain a valid join style or an abbrevia-
tion of one of these names, then an error message is stored in interp->result, TCL_ERROR is returned, and *joinPtr is unmodified.
Tk_NameOfJoinStyle is the logical inverse of Tk_GetJoinStyle. Given a join style such as JoinBevel it returns a statically-allocated
string corresponding to join. If join is not a legal join style, then "unknown join style" is returned.
KEYWORDS
