  To that idea, I say "-sssssssssssssssssssssssss". It is too easy to forget
once in a while to insert oddments such as "-s" switches. That is why I prefer
to create a file C:\DOS\GO32ADD.BAT containing this line:-
      copy /B c:\djgpp\bin\go32.exe + %1 %2.exe
  and I just type e.g.
     GO32ADD A.OUT MIAOW
  and lo-and-behold an .EXE every time with no meed to remember my GO32.EXE's
full pathname every time and no risk of overwriting it by omitting something.
