I have Izarc, and it says that it can handle RAR files. I downloaded a
multipart app-tutorial from another newgroup that is compressed in
various RAR files. IZarc will extract the first one but none of the
others (I get a dialog box saying "Cannot read from source drive or
disk."). The extraction is useless anyway because I still have to find
a way to fit all the pieces back together into one single file. My
newsreader has a "Combine and Decode" command bu it doesn't work with
RAR attachments.
A friend said that this is because the RAR files are segments of a
multipart download, and that I need WinRAR to put them all back
together.
Questions to those of you who own and use WinRAR:
* Is it true that I MUST have the full retail version WinRAR to put the
segments back together into one continuous whole? (or: Is there another
freeware solution or "no install" app that will do it?)
* Is there a freeware version of WinRAR that will do this?
* If there is a freeware version of WinRAR that will do this, do you
know of any walk-through or tutorial document that will show me how to
do it using that freeware version?
The bottom-line goal here is to download mutlipart RAR's from a
newsgroup and use a freeware product to recreate the original single
file.
Thanks for your help!
