All I get is "code". How do I display the photos? Thanks
If you're serious I'd suggest asking in one of these groups,
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
news.software.readers
Helpful info would include the newsreader you plan to use, the subject
and date along with the name of this group, plus info given about the
post. He says it's a 4.7 GB .rar in 325 parts, plus 40% pars files.
325*35 is a lot of parts to combine manually so you might consider
something like grabit or altbinz.
If you're on Windows and you want to stitch together .rars quickly and
easily, use WinRAR. Just install it, then double-click one of the .pars, and
the app will check out the .rars, check out the .pars, correct
corrupted/missing .rars (if there are enough .pars, which shouldn't be a
problem with 130+ of them in this case) stitch the .rars together, and decode
the whole thing.
MacPAR deLuxe does the same thing for Macs, but it's cheaper and easier to
handle. WinRAR is faster on the same hardware (20" iMac 2.66 Core 2 Duo, in
my case) and can decode some things that MacPAR chokes on, but the latest
version of MacPAR is about 15% faster than the version it replaced and hasn't
yet choked on any files I've fed it.
Both of 'em also do other types of compressed/encoded files, including .zip
and relatives. MacPAR handles more types than WinRAR does, but WinRAR will
sometimes decode a .rar or .zip (the most common types) that MacPAR choked
on. As noted above, the new version of MacPAR seems to have fixed that.
I have had to send several CDs worth of data to someone whose email won't
take files larger than 5MB at a time. The only practical solution was to zip
the files up into a single giant .zip file, then break it down into multiple
4MB .rars and .pars and email 'em out. Took forever, but they don't have
broadband and are highly unlikely to ever get broadband, so most methods of
sending large files simply wouldn't work.
