cat is useful to reassemble split files - even split binary files.
Recently I had to resort to backing up a Linux box to a Win2K box via
an smb share[1]. I'm copying an ext3 dump file over. The Win2K box
doesn't support files larger than 2Gb. I used split -b to break the dump
into smaller chunks to be copied over.
[1] Yes, this really was the only viable option. Yes, I know it is not
elegant :) At least the Win2K box gets backed up to DLT.
Cheers,
