That's using alternate NTFS data streams, pretty clever and undetectable with any but a few select, underground utilities; doesn't alter the file size and doesn't seem to exist. It however won't work in non-NTFS filesystems like optical media or network transfers indeed. You can append a file to another just like
>>2 said with COPY file1 + file2, for example, or with the GNU utilities if you prefer them.
