 One presumes that the statement:

   cat file1 file2 - | hisprog

is insufficient because he wants to communicate with hisprog conversationally.
What he wants is the UNIVAC 1100 @ADD statement, which has been available on
that system since about 1964.  The setup would be:

   @XQT HISPROG
   @ADD FILE1
   @ADD FILE2
   <conversational input>

This must be the only case in which a dinosaur system is actually more
flexible than Un*x...
