To those who can join segmented files ...
I have tried several times to take a file from the Mac binaries that has
been stuffed, binhex'd, segmented, and and tried to join, un-binhex, and
unstuff with Stuffit 1.51 (and 1.31) to NO AVAIL.
I have been able to download the single ones and make them ready for the
Mac, but these segmented ones I have NOT.
I have used United 1.1 that Tim so graciously sent me but this has not
solved my problem, yet. Here is what I do:
1. Open United 1.1 and follow the screen prompts to select the first
segment, then the second, etc. It makes a name with .hqx appended
and saves it for me.
2. I then go to Stuffit to "decode binhex file" where I get the
warning box that says:
"Sorry, but a disk related error (Unexpected
EOF) has prevented the operation from
concluding."
I thought I was doing this correctly to join these parts together.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong ??????

I had the same problem running united. There is a hypercard stack in the sumex-aim archive that I have been unsing for about 3 months now and it works fine. (It correctly joined the entire technical notes stack). If you cannot use annonymous ftp, send a note and I will post it to comp.mac.binary Alex W.

A long time ago before the before the handy-dandy' section joiners (I call them) came out I found that by using any word processor that I could join the two (or more) test files together by just deleting the explanation text (making sure there are no l/f and or c/r's or SPACES between the segments and that the ":" is at the beginning and end of the combined file. save combined file under new name, bin-hex it, de-stuff, and there you are. SOIM SOMETIMES THE FILE COMES ACROSS THE NET IN A CORRUPTED MANNER AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! Hafa adai, Y'all from Guam
