Just use "split". See the man page for details.
Yeah, works nicely. I just wonder if Windows and Mac users could join
the bits again...

type file2 >> file1
type file3 >> file1

Type is usually used for viewing text files, similar to more. Either of
these would possibly be the better choice:

copy /b file1+file2+file3+file4 complete.file

or

copy /b file* complete.file

Any arguments why type can't be used or why copy should be saver?

I do not KNOW, but it may involve the crazy Windows end of line
protocol. Catenating files with type *MAY* insert CR/LF combinations
at the join points because type assumes that the files are ASCII and
not binary.
