Windows still has the dos commands of its ancestor. One of the things you
can do, which I used to do when I was trying to imoprt the whole of TWIC at
one fell swoop, was to use the copy command.
The thing to remember is that PGN files are merely ascii text files and they
can all go together, either in a text editor, or with a command.
You can do "COPY File1.pgn+File2.pgn+File3.pgn File123.pgn" I believe
however the command line is limited to 255 characters so this may not be
your friend. You can also simply use a wildcard and do "COPY *.PGN
ALLFILES.PGN"
I did find however, that with TWIC for example that some of the files
contained either broken PGN or junk of one sort or another. Once they were
all in one big file the importer executabel gave a line number of where the
error occured, which allowed me to use a text editor possessing the ability
to use line number to go and fix them.
On the other hand, this has been modified in ChessDB which I am sure many
people have probably already posted.
