+DESCRIPTION
+TBCONCAT is a simple task which accepts a list of APPHOT/DAOPHOT STSDAS
+database files and concatenates them into one resultant database.
+TBCONCAT checks that all the file are indeed APPHOT/DAOPHOT STSDAS
+database files and that they were all written by the same task before
+performing the concatenation.
+
+TBCONCAT is a simple script built around the STSDAS TABLES package
+task TMERGE. Users should consult the manual page for TMERGE for
+more details about the inner working of the task.
