Hi,

I would be very glad if someone would try and explain to me about those
files that have be d/l ,then reassembled from those n/g's alt.binaries.mac
etc?

They are there but I just cant seem to quite understand exactly what the
process is.

People put files on the net in some sort of sequence , then you d/l them and
use another program to reassemble them?

Thanks for any help on this matter

For my newsreader I am using Entourage, but I have heard you can only use
newsreaders like Thoth and Hogwasher to do this.

Two possibilities

1. use a newsreader that assembles the pieces for you, or

2. use a newsreader that doesn't and reassemble them in another app.

I use MT-NewsWatcher. It's free. It assembles multi-part binaries.

get it at http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/

Are you sure that Entourage can't reassemble pieces?

Use Stuffit Xpander for .sit files

If it's a RAR Archive, download the .rar and par2 files, and then
doubleclick the .par2; MacPAR will check and join them. If anything is
missing, or a file is currupted, you may need to download the .PAR
files as well (download the same amount as your missing or faulty
parts)

blaa.mpg.001, blaa.mpg.002, blaa.mpg.003 etc, will need Split & Concat.

Happy hunting

Theo
