# dviconcat(1)

concatenate DVI files

## NAME

dviconcat - concatenate DVI files

## SYNOPSIS

**dviconcat** \[ **-m** *magnification* \] \[ **-o** *outfile* \] *list of files*

## DESCRIPTION

*Dviconcat* concatenates the named *file*s (or standard input, if no file names are given) onto the standard output or the given *outfile*, creating a new DVI file usable by any of the TeX conversion programs, or even by *dviconcat* itself.

The magnification of the output file is the same as that of the first input file unless the **-m** option is given. When *dviconcat* changes the magnification of any input file, it prints a warning to this effect.

## BUGS

The program should be called *dvicat*, but that name was taken (for the driver for the C/A/T typesetter).
