I think you also need to get rid of the extraneous characters at the end of
each part; i.e. you need to check that where two parts join that there are
no blank lines or lines with a few hyphens or lines that say "end of part 1"
or the like.  Also don't leave a blank line at the start of the next part.
In other words when you are done appending it should be impossible to
detect where the two parts met.
