    opposite of split?

    I've used the "split" command (on SuSE 10.1) to split some files into 650MB chunks to put on CDs, I've now transferred them onto a FC4 system, how can I join them together again?

    a method a bit faster than "cat"?

    cat is what you need. If you've got an abnormally large amount of split files, you could do a for loop to run through the files and keep >> them to the composite in progress.

    yeah, cheers - it's doing it, but it's not exactly optimal , it's taking ages!

    It takes quite a long time just for the output file to get up to the size of the first file - surely it could just copy the first file to the output file to start off?
    I wonder if I could try tow rite a more optimal version,...
