Default How do you tag one file onto the end of another?

I know one way to join files: in a command box,

copy /b filea+fileb filec

.. However, if filea is huge, this takes a noticeable time, because the
entirety of filea is copied to filec (followed by fileb, obviously).

I know with text files, you can just append things to another file - e.
g.

dir filea

will I think append a directory listing to filea, or

type fileb filea

will append fileb to filea - but only if it's a text file.

Anyone know how to concatenate arbitrary files, without involving a
third file?
