merges an input file to the end of an output file
<pre>

<in> Input file name
<out> Output file name

Adds the entire contents of input file <input> to the end of output file
<output>. If <output> does not exist, it is created as a copy of <input>.

The following rules apply:
o The data in <input> is copied regardless of any file type or data format
incompatibilities. Output file header information is not changed except
for the logical file length words.
o There is no length limitation on either <input> or <output>.
o <input> file type can be any MIDAS data file.

Note: The default transfer length is computed as Math.max(1,bufSize/hi.dbpe)
where bufSize is a variable defined in nxm.sys.lib.Primitive (~32678)
and hi.dbpe is the bytes-per-element of the input file format.

Switches:
/REPLAY=N - Number of times to copy input file [DEF=1]
/TL - The number of elements to be read each process loop [DEF=computed]
/OFFSET=n - Add <in> file starting at offset N in the <out> file. [DEF=EndOfOutputFile]
