The latest version of Stuffit Expander should open and extract .bin files...
Unless there is something wrong with the file...

Yeah new that, however it doesn't seem to work now, I know the segments are
fine, I actually managed to do it last month with the same files.  Not too
sure what is different now.  It is getting a little frustrating, plus I am
feeling a little dumb.  I just can;t believe that I did it once previous but
now I can't!!!

It usually works for me to drag the segments onto the Stuffit Expander
(the one that came with Panther).  

But if the seg number comes last (i.e. blaa.001, blaa.002 etc) you
might need Split&Concat

OR, some people are still recommending Rosetta for that sort of join.

Everynow and then I have to take the whole thing back in time and use
an old version of Stuffit Deluxe (I run an OS9 box with SDL 5.5).
Others recommend 7.0.1, even 4.5.  It's worth persevering if you have a
choice of Stuffit Versions.  If you need to, go to a.b.m.a. and request
an old version; Island Girl is probably the expert in this, and always
very helpful

upgraded my stuffit ver and have also tried os 9 to no avail.
