For text files, I've used "copy *.txt output.txt" before
This concatenates all the text files into one. If it works here it'd be easier than having to type in all the names, assuming they're in alphabetical order.

Hi Folks,
I have a large file to transfer from a Linux machine to a Win98 machine, and for practical reasons only able to use floppies.
In DOS (or Windows Command Prompt) you can use the following command to re-compile binary files:
copy /b <file1>+<file2>+<file3> <destination file> /v
I don't have anything to test this with at present, but I have used this method way back when to transfer data using floppies on M$ boxes.
HTH,
Jim
It did indeed! In fact it worked ... ! Only problem was typing in all the file names without making a mistake (if you try to back-arrow to your typo in DOS you erase as you go ... ).
Many thanks also to Wayne, Simon, Rob, Tim and MJ for suggestions and/or sympathy. (Simon's suggestion of hjsplit might come in handy one day if I ever have to go the other way).
Best wishes to all, Ted.
