.SH NAME
catrez \- concatenate resource forks from files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BR catrez " [" -av ]
.BI "-d " dest_file
.I file1
[
.IR file2 ...
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B catrez
concatenates resources from multiple files into the resource fork of a
single file. (The data fork of the destination file is not modified.)
This is useful to programmers who create
resources for a program in several different files and need to combine
them into the resource fork of the final executable file.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP \fB-v\fR
Produce verbose output, including: the program version,
the name of each source file, the type & ID of each copied resource, and
whether a resource converter is required.
.IP \fB-a\fR
Append resources to the destination file rather than overwriting the
resource fork.
.IP "\fB-d\fR \fIdestfile\fR"
Existing destination file name [required parameter].

.SH HISTORY
Version 1.0 was released as an independent utility compatible with
GNO in July 1996. Version 1.0.1, released in November 1996, fixed a
problem with "protected" attributes. Version 1.0.2 was updated
in September 1997 to use GNO 2.0.6 headers, libraries, and coding
conventions, and released as part of GNO 2.0.6.
