You can combine 2 files easily on the command line.
Go to the command prompt and type
Type file1 >> file2
Works nicely.

I've been consolidating volumes of Braille from Web Braille into single
units for a long time. The method I use is a bit tedious, and there may be
better means of accomplishing this, and I'd like to hear about them.
Here's what I do. Assuming that you have a two-volume book, I open the
second volume using NotePad, edit out the title page and other extraneous
stuff, then copy the remaining data to the clipboard. Finally, I open the
book's first volume, go to the end of that file, and paste in the material
from the clipboard. I've never found a faster way of doing it, but it works
and actually doesn't take more than a minute or so per volume. I just
performed this action on Gone With the Wind and Theodore Dreiser's An
American Tragedy yesterday, both of which are quite large. For the two
books it took about twenty minutes, but there were more than twenty volumes
involved all told.

Subject: [bookport] net library or CNIB e-braille files
hi list,
I am quite new to the bookport and am wondering if there is a way of making
multiple files into one. (I mean, I download e-braille books from the CNIB,
and they are mostly 6 or more files that you must download). Is it still
possible to go by page, word, etc etc, even if there are multiple files?
Iether then that I am thoughrely enjoying the unit. It is small, portable,
and able to go anywhere with you weather it be in your pocket or just in the
palm of your hand. Not to mension, I love to read.
best regards,
- Tyler
