    I am using the UNIX command that is available through cygwin. For
    example, if I have these two files:

    file1.txt
    Only line of file 1.

    file2.txt
    Only line of file 2.

    and type in a cmd window with the cygwin\bin path set properly the
    following:
    cat file1.txt >> file2.txt

    file2.txt will now look like this:

    file2.txt
    Only line of file 2.
    Only line of file 1.

    which is what I am looking for (this is what I tried manually to prove
    to myself that I was not going insane or doing something stupid). I
    do not want to use the DOS 'type' command because I eventually want to
    port this to run directly on UNIX without having to do any recoding.
    The problem appears to be using any redirection or pipes in a system
    command when that system is making use of the cygwin binaries on a
    Windows system.
