    Joining Multiple .tap Files

    Is there a good way to join (concatenate) 4 separate .tap files into one file? Each file has separate subroutines.

    If someone could point me to an example, that would be helpful.

    Can't just cut and paste?

    Careful..... with cut & paste
    subroutine names need to be individualised, call-up a sub and it would probably run the 1st one found....not exactly what you want

    Can you create a separate file that calls up the file you need to run concurrently, this would be the file you load to run,
    - the files being called should also reside in the same location

    ie
    O0005
    N1 M98 P0001 Q1
    N2 M98 P0002 Q1
    N3 M98 P0003 Q1
    N4 M98 P0004 Q1
    M30

    M98 is a simple sub call, P is the program number, Q is the number of repetitions ( can be omitted if only 1 repeat )
    M99 may need to be placed at the end of the called programs instead of M2/M30
