• MS-DOS or WINDOWS or SIMILAR operating system(s):
copy /b file_xxx.014+file_xx.013+...+file_xxx.001 file.xxx
• Linux or other Unix or similar operating system(s):
cat file_xxx.014 file_xxx.013 ... file_xxx.001 > file.xxx
Note: It is important to list the splitted parts in decreasing order.
• Other operating system(s):
You can use a binary copy program or a binary editor to join the separate parts.
