Back in DOS days I could concatenate text files without using a third party
tool. Can I do this with XP, Vista, or W7? TIA, Paul

Yes, the same way you did before:

copy file1.txt + file2.txt fileboth.txt

Type

copy /?

at a command prompt to find out all about the copy command.

At the Command Prompt with the Copy command:

copy file1+file2+file3 newfile.txt

This works fine for text file (as your example suggests) but for binary
files the /b switch is required:

copy /b file1+file2+file3 newfile.bin
