None of that is version control. At best that's a visual based manual patch file tool. That you can't concat two word files together in 2018 is ridiculous.

- wadkar 8y ago> That you can’t concat two word files Of course you can! # cat word1.doc word2.doc > word3.doc Sounds ludicrous? So does your statement. Setting aside the hyperbole, I believe it would be a conceptual nightmare to start defining concat of two docs. For simple cases, feel free to make copy pasta :-)
- majewsky 8y ago> I believe it would be a conceptual nightmare to start defining concat of two docs. Just append the pages of document 2 to the end of document 1. Then the user can decide whether to remove the page break introduced by it. I have this in my env for doing this with PDF: $ cat =concatpdf #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" = "to" ]; then shift gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=letter -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$* else echo Usage: concatpdf to out.pdf in.pdf in2.pdf in3.pdf fi The peculiar syntax with "to" ensures that I do not invocate it incorrectly.
