This last bit worries me. I don't see how that would be possible unless
some sort
of marker was placed between the n'th and (n+1)'th file. But then, it'd
cause some
sort of horrible sound when you played the file... if indeed you ever
intend to play
such a file...
Why would you do this?
If you just want the binary content merged into one long file, surely a
normal file
copy/append would do? Or you could zip the set of files into one file.
