Hi, i have been a mac user for nearly 3 years now and have obtained 1 ACTC and 2 ACHA qualifications.
I am also a PC user for the same with 2 MCP.
I have been using newsgroups on my pc for a few months now with great success, the files are easy to down and easy to unRAR and recompile into the final result.
I recently decided to start downloading programs for my mac, i found that on the pc they downloaded then vanished, i assume this is due to the inabillity for windows to read/write HFS natively.
So i got hold of a copy of iGrabnews for my mac to download the files direct to the OS there supposed to be on, this solved the problem.
The problem i am faced with now is that it seems far from easy to unzip/extract and recompile the files on a mac, unlike the pc where its a few clicks!
anyhow what i am presented with is a folder containing the downloaded file which have the extension of: cd1.img.bin etc upto part 56.
what programs should i use to extract this type of file to something workable like .img or tar.gz
i have downloaded a .PAR program to check the pars which works, i have also downloaded a version of RAR which again seem to work, also a copy of split&concat which also seems to work, im just not sure how to get the file back together agiain.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Kai
