Is it possible to make the dos pipe append output to a file rather than overwriting each time?

Strickly speaking you are asking about I/O redirection not pipes.

Pipes connect one program to another as in:

C:> dir|more

I/O redirection is a way to change how data enters or leaves an application or command as in:

C:>dir c:\ >dirfile.txt (output to a file)
C:>dir d:\ >>dirfile.txt (append to a file)

C:> more
Hope this helps.
