Hi

In MSDOS mode you can join them with the following command - copy /b file1 + file2 + file3 + file4 + file5 file./XXX/

/b is the switch for binary. /a is for ascii

Syntax at http://www.computerhope.com/copyhlp.htm

Another way is to create a spanning archive with Winzip under Wine and then use Winzip to reconstitute it in Windows

And thanks for that URL or, more generally, http://www.computerhope.com That looks like a good place to poke around in when out of my depth in foreign territory!
