Hi Marco,

> we agree that DOS/Windows command translate "dir *" to "dir *.*"

Yes. I was wrong when I closed bug 1690 as "duplicate" of another
bug several years ago. Please add your information to that bug and
re-open it:

http://bugzilla.freedos.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1690

> The copy function at freecom don't concatenate files as command.com does.
> copy chapter1.txt + chapter2.txt + chapter3.txt book.txt

This does work (as far as I remember) but

copy book.txt + chapter3.txt

does not work. Some other cases do not work either. This bug is
also documented in bugzilla, please check the description there.
The copy.c is a bit complex, so a rewrite might be easier than
a bugfix. You can find the source on SVN and in a ZIP, see the
source code link and the software list (base -> freecom/command)
for more details.

PS: There are other ways to concat things, if you need a work-
around soon... Sometimes using >> can help, or using a tool as:
