[dba-SQLServer]OT: combine multiple RTF files into one?

Why not use Word.

1. Open the first one in Word.

2. Move to the end of the doc

3. Do an Insert|File... and select the next file

4. Go back to step 2 98 more times.

You should be able to automate it quite easily if all the files are in
the same directory.

The DOS command won't work.  There is some sort of Header and Footer in
"RTF 
Code" and it looks different for each RTF file.  When you combine 3 RTF

files into one using the DOS command Copy and then open it in Word, it
will 
only display the first RTF file.

Any other suggestions?
