	Remember those 60 pieces I cat'd together? Well somehow I removed the 
partition I used to temporarily store the one big file made from them. 
Now, I still have the 60 pieces, but I'm hoping there is a way to write 
a small quick shell script to do the work for me, I just don't know how.
	I am using bash in Ubuntu 6.10 and all the files are named like 
file-name.001. Seeing as there is only 60 to work with and the first one 
is named like file-name.img, I was thinking I could use a loop in the 
shell script to cat each file in numerical order and append it to the 
end of the .img file. I've googled, but I haven't found anything that 
fits. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
