IIRC, a DOS "copy Part1 + Part2 + Part3 Bigfile" will do the trick.

Actually, plain ole' ISO 9660 is fine.  Joliet (for Windows) and Rockridge
(for legacy UNIX) extensions just provide for filenames beyond the 8.3
singular-case (e.g., "MICROS~1.TXT").  Probably not an issue when there's
one file per CD. ;-)
