WHAT IS JOINFILE ?

	Join file is a utility that allows the user to zip several files
into a single neat file which can then be stored away. When the files
are then required again, they can be unzipped quickly and easily by
use of this utility.  Join File is very small (under 2Kb), and is
extremely easy to use, even for beginners.

USES OF JOINFILE:-

1)	Several files that must be kept together (ie.
for an application) may be zipped together and then compressed using a
compression utility (eg. MEGASTOR-available in all good shareware
libraries).  This saves the need to compress and uncompress them
seperately and provides a PSION equivalent to PKZIP.  Also the space
of a compressed file that has already been zipped by JOINFILE, is
less than that taken up by compressing them separately.

2)	If you are a shareware programmer, you can obtain the source code
of JOINFILE (see below for details).  You will
then be able to use JOINFILE in your own program to automatically install
the files onto the users machine.

INSTALLATION

	To install joinfile, simply copy the file into the \OPO\ directory
and run as with any other program.

FILE FORMATS

	JOINFILE writes each file to the ouput file in the following way:-
		BYTES 1-128	String containing the name of the file
		BYTES 129-133	Long Integer containing the file size in bytes
		BYTES 134-...	The File itself
