Vorbis - May 2003 - Restoring concatenated ogg vorbis files

Questions about concatenated ogg files have been popping up recently. Here's
another one — is there an easy way of splitting a concatenated ogg file back to
its constituents? i.e. if you have a complete album that has been concatenated
to a single file using the copy command in Windows (I suspect an analog of cat
in *nix), is there a way to split it back into tracks?

Yes, this is as easy as finding where in the file
the Ogg pages have a different serialno from before --
those are the spots where the streams were catenated.
