Join 1.1 by Kyzer/CSG

Join is a simple shell command to join several files together into one
larger file. It is designed to use as little memory as possible.
It is 100% compatible with the CBM "Join" command, but also has a BUF
argument, for specifying the buffer size (in bytes) to be used. Minimum size
is 1024 byte and default is 20000 bytes. Join can be made resident.

example of usage:
join d1:1 d2:2 d3:3 d4:4 d5:5 d6:6 d7:7 as ram:odyssey.lha buf=9000

optimal buffer sizes include:
reading from DH0: BUF=70000 (hard drives like big buffers)
reading from DS0: BUF=15000 reading from 15k/s diskspare disk)
reading from DF0: BUF=13000 (reading from 12k/s normal amiga disk)
reading from PC0: BUF=9000  (reading from 8k/s DOS disk)
reading from RAM: BUF=2000  (ram is very quick, but gets full quick)
