Multiple view of Apsedic to ASCII.

dd conv=ascii if=100.PCN of=foo
On paging the 'foo' file i get conversion of the selected file. How can I get multiple 100.PCN's into 1 'foo' file.
Usually all my work related files have an extension of .PCN or 001. Upon selecting if=*.* No ouput file is generated.

Try a quick shell script like...

#!/bin/sh

for ifile in *.PCN
do
cat $ifile | dd conv=ascii >> foo
done

...or just...

cat *.PCN | dd conv=ascii > foo

...although I'm not sure if this will work
properly with the conversion.
