I have 10 files and want to join it in one file! There are 2 ways to do it:

• Compress the files
• Join the files

There are a lot of programs that do it with command line. But, with ONLY the default windows, is there any tool that I can compress the files in one computer and decompress it in another?

If not, the other option is doing a copy to join the files. But, how can I undo it? It can use text or binary file and want it to be lossless.

And I can't use Powershelll!!! Only use the cmd.exe!!

I believe tar is available on Windows these days:

Code: Select all

tar --help

Lol, yes, tar is avaliable, but ONLY in new version of windows. I forget to say about it. Is there other tool to do it in old windows? Or in other words, If the system don't have tar, what are my options?

There are several options available, but makecab is probably your best bet. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/280 ... s-with-bat

You'd be interested in this then.

Nice, I'm glad someone forked Frank Westlake's code.
