Do the metafiles share a common origin ?  If so, they'll probably use the
same mapping modes and coordinate systems. This being the case, you can
probably strip the EOF metafile record off the first file, throw away the
header of the first and concatenate the files. You'll have to scan the
second file to note the longest metafile record and the number of records
then you'll need to update the header of the file taking that into account.

Not a lot of work if you have a C compiler.
