Yes, that "cat" approach would definitely not work, because gig files are using 
the tree based "RIFF" format as fundamental layout. So libgig would not see 
anything that you manually appended to the file with cat.

I haven't tried yet, but theoretically you can just open the original gig file 
i.e. with gigedit, then select "Save as ..." and save it with a *new* file 
name. It should then automatically store the entire bunch of gig and gx files 
as one new, large gig file instead. That's one of the new features in
libgig 4.1.0, writing files larger than 4 GB. Like written in the release notes 
though, you won't be able to load those gig files > 4 GB with GigaStudio 
though:
