Rar...

Can anyone help?
I have a load of files that I have downloaded. The first one has the extension .rar and then the others sort of follow on in the format;
.r00
.r01
.r02
...
.r17
and then I have a .nfo file.
My rar unpacker program will only look at the .rar file.
What am I supposed to do with the rest?
Yours thickly...

change the extension to .rar
I'm having trouble unpacking my .rar files (on a Mac) can anyone point me at an unstuffer, other that Stuffit?

Just extract the files from the .rar file, and it'll automatically unpack the rest of them.
It's all split between them, you see, so when you extract from the .rar, it adds the data from .r01, .r02 etc.

This didn't, but it is what I expected to happen...

I Googled for 'rar Mac files' and found one called RAR Expander that I'm trying out right now.

Strange, that's what's meant to happen.. when I'm given
evaluation copies of games, software and videos, that's how they're transferred.
Maybe the NFO file would tell you, use DAMN NFO Viewer to read them.

MacPAR deLuxe works well for me

to read NFO files, just change the extension to .txt, or set TextEdit (or your favorite text editor) to open them by default using Get Info on your .nfo file.

NFO files are just text files, you can also open/read them in Notepad

Ah, fair enough. I was given DAMN to use for reading NFOs, can't say I ever tried Notepad.

Yeap, and most crackers use the NFO extension to fool people; they usually contain the method for installing the software and some thnaks to fellow crackers
IZ.
