    You need a tool called Hjsplit to join them and then extract with winrar.


    Hope this is within the rules...

    i dunno...helping someone who is just barely smart enough to steal something, but not quite smart enough to seal the deal....doubt it is within the rules.

    Install WinRAR, select all of them, right-click, and select Extract Here.

    ^ use that method. winrar can handle part files. normally you just select file #1 and extract and winrar does the rest.

    Well, it works because people who appreciate the program buy it anyway (hint, hint), and that encourages the developer to continue improving it.

    If it weren't for people who do this, the developer would simply stop developing it.

    OpenSource software is provided by developers who wish to donate their time. They go into it knowing their contribution is free (plus many opensource programs are done in a much more collaborative manner).

    WinRar is created by a private entity with fewer resources, and the developer hopes he makes a good enough product so honorable folks will compensate him.

    But you really don't need to be told that, do you? It's pretty clear where you're coming from.

    It doesn't? I'm pretty sure I've used 7zip to join part files together...
    Or maybe I'm just confusing the days where I used to have winrar...
