GATH command on AIX 3.1

[Jon Alperin x8674]

Hey all you IBMer's and AIXer's:

  Does anyone know a command or sequence of them that will provide the 
same function as the system 5 gath() command? An IBM Defect support
person told me that the only refernce was under the PS/2 version,
and that reference was a definitive "not going to be supported".

For those that don't know, gath() gathers up a set of files and
allows one to manipulate them as a unit (i.e. pipe to sed, etc.).
Any help would be appreciated.
