Just updating the thread in hopes that it might be useful for someone else in the future.
I'm using Ubuntu Lucid and fired off this SED on a typical BASH CLI.
I had about 60+ text files and it whipped right through them. Can't tell you what the text files were originally created on (since I didn't make them). I just wanted to combine them so I could have a single "text book" which I could move to my phone's ebook reader.
Thanks.
