Combining records

I have a file that has 316 byte records. I would like to read in the file and combine Record#1 with Recod#2, Record #3 with Record #4, etc to create an output file with 632 byte records.

I was looking into using "awk" but I'm not sure if it will do what I need.

Any suggestions on a quick and dirty way to accomplish this task?

Thanks

NAME
packet.record - Record module DESCRIPTION
Provides the object for a record and the string representation of the record in a tcpdump trace file. Record object attributes: Record( index = Frame number length_inc = Number of bytes included in trace length_orig = 1 msecs = 905320, seconds = 1349747491, secs = 4.165262937545776, ) CLASSES
class Record(baseobj.BaseObj) Record object Usage: from packet.record import Record x = Record() Methods defined here: --------------------- __str__(self) String representation of object The representation depends on the verbose level set by debug_repr(). If set to 0 the generic object representation is returned. If set to 1 the representation of the object is condensed to display the frame number and the timestamp: '57 0.530957 ' If set to 2 the representation of the object also includes the number of bytes on the wire, number of bytes captured and a little bit more verbose: SEE ALSO
