Try the unix "cat" command. An available ".exe" for Win32 is available at

How many do you want to combine? I would just cut and paste them with a
text editor like Windows Notepad.

pgn files are only ascii files.
Save as plain text file afterwards.

Hello
If you have many PGN files, you can use file *.bat as I give you an example
You need the program PKzip dos, It run fine under Windows XP

In Unix/Linux: cat input1.pgn input2.pgn input3.pgn output.pgn

In DOS/Windows: copy input1.pgn + input 2.pgn + input3.pgn output.pgn

I don't know about Macs but you could certainly cut and paste with a text
editor.

Actually, that works just as well under XP without the plus signs.
Perhaps they were required in some older version of DOS or perhaps I've
misremembered.

Yes, you are right, I don't need PKZip to do this at all.
I was thinking about an other *.bat for opening and grouping a batch of
files PGN zipped
I beg you pardon

Here is the content of *.bat

REM Copy all files type PGN in the folder: C:\tmp0
REM in one file named group.pgn in the same folder
COPY c:\tmp0\*.pgn c:\tmp0\Group.pgn
exit

We have not to name files to group

Actually, Mac OS X *is* Unix, so cat works fine. Just open a window in
the Terminal application and type the command as below. It's been too
long since I used OS 9 and below to remmber, but I think you might
have to download BBedit lite or something and use that.
