Yep :-)

1. Create a new hardfile of the size you want (at least 100MB if you
want all 4 files merged).

2. In Shapeshifter, select as the first hardfile the Bootdisk file from
CUCD, and select the newly created file as the second.

3. Boot into MacOS from here...

4. Copy the entire contents of the boot disk to the new disk...

5. Leave Shapeshifter, and restart it, this time selecting the new
hardfile as the first disk file, and one of the other CUCD hardfiles as
the second.

6. Load up MacOS and copy the entire contents of the CUCD hardfile into
the new one....

7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 for the other two harfiles

Next time you start SS, just select the large harfile as the primary
disk and save the settings...
