Well,
copy /b file*.00? file*.exe
worked to produce
filename.exe.
What I thought was interesting was that it apparently got the order of
the files to be combined correctly. I guess this is now getting more
off topic since these are DOS questions, but I wonder whether it works
if the parts do not have sequentially numbered extensions.
BTW, this did solve my original problem which is getting a large binary
downloaded to a Linux machine into a DOS machine via floppy disk.
