If the combined files are too large for the 128's memory, but each individual 
file isn't, Pocket Writer3, its earlier versions, and most other word 
processors will allow all the parts to be LINKed, and printed at once.  The 
only limitation would be the total capacity of all your drives.

If each file exceeds the 128's memory capacity, you could split them up by
using BTP's buffer, which will handle files not exceeding 125,535 bytes. 

For any sized file, Big Blue Reader 128 will print, and offer options of
ascii or petscii, LF on or off, device # of printer, etc.  There is no limit
to the size of a file that BBR can print.
