Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Not only is it possible to rejoin two files into one, you already have the tool on your machine to do so.
I split a file a while ago. I don't have a copy of the program used and I can't remember what it was. All I know is that it split the 2 files into segments ending in ".1" and ".2". Is there a program out there that will universally rejoin files? Or do I have to keep hunting 'til I find the program that I used?

The term for what you're attempting to do is called "concatenation" - basically splicing two files together to create a single file.
And the tool's already on your machine.

The copy command in Windows will do it.
In a command shell:
copy file1 /b + file2 /b file3
Will join file1 and file2 to create file 3. The "/b" indicates that Copy should treat the file as binary rather than text.

Greatings.
I would like to suggest an easier way to do the same process.
Do just like this at the directory where pieces are:
copy/b 01.ca1+02.ca2+03.ca3+04.ca4 wimamp.exe
Where: first piece+2nd_3rd+4th and else,equals the final file name splited, which name you are supposed to previously know.
For example I splited Winamp.
System will act then:
D:\Util\Win-util\Splitters\Fsplit>copy/b 01.ca1+02.ca2+03.ca3+04.ca4 wimamp.exe
01.CA1
02.CA2
03.CA3
04.CA4
1 files) copyed(s).

follow below steps to split files...
1. change extension to .rar of merged file
eg. final.jpg to final.rar
2. now open that .rar file and u can copy
your inner files from there by extracting
them...
