There's a way to do it all in one command

Something like copy /b filea /b fileb /b filec output

although I think you need a few '+' characters in there somewhere.

I shipped the split files with a batch file, with instructions to just
put all the files in one directory, and run 'runme.bat'.

The batch file combined all the parts and then deleted the original
files.
