good to know, for me. Unfortunately, this may not be user-friendly
enough (read: absolutely foolproof enough). Remember: most people have
no experience whatsoever with command lines, and they're afraid of using
them - probably better that way...

So give them the batch file that will do it for them.
Simple instructions: put all files (including the batch) in the same dir.
Double-clic on the batch.

To make the batch, just create a file called 'glue.cmd', and put the line:
copy /b part1.dat+part2.dat+part3.dat+part4.dat total.dat
.... in it. That's how simple it is.

But using RAR is even better. :-)
