It's okay, there's always a learning curve with this stuff. You'd think it would be easy enough but it never is.
Okay, update from my end.
In Mac OS 10.5.8, I downloaded the 3 segments from Safari.
Following MCP's advice, I put the 3 segments in their own folder (by themselves for good measure). I dragged the first segment on top of Stuffit (the application, not the window that says "drag your files here".)
If it helps, I went to the Login window while the process went down.
To my shock, Stuffit started expanding the 3 files into 1 disk image. It even finished the process completely and didn't hang. However, upon double clicking the .dmg, Mac OS X still says the image could be damaged.
Again, if it helps, the .dmg is now locked, while before, it was not.
Upon mounting it in sheepshaver, however, despite the fact that Mac OS X said the disk image was damaged, it ran fine. Nostalgia ran abounds. I was playing "Gone Fishin'" in a heartbeat.
All I can say is, thank you very, very much. In my defense, I didn't mean to make my comment sound like a complaint. I'm just.. mentally challenged sometimes. Since I was created, I've unfortunately only grown about 10 times smarter since then.
Could be prefs, although the default setting is to work exactly as MCP described.
Open Preferences in Stuffit Expander, v7 is fine. There's a Joining tab, select that and then there's a checkbox for "Join Segmented Files", make sure it's checked. There's also an "Expand Joined File (if possible)" checkbox, it should be checked also.
Otherwise tell us exactly what you do to download these, ie. OS, browser, and how you try to join and expand them.
I've tested my archives with several versions of Stuffit Expander 5.5 and later, on both mac and pc, without problems. I don't know what you're doing wrong but dozens of people have downloaded those archives without a complaint. The most common thing people do wrong at first though is to double-click the archives or right-click and "open." It's much better to drag-and-drop onto Expander.
Which version of Stuffit are you using? I've used 7.0 and the latest version, and both refuse to recognize the .1/ .2/ .3 segments.
Put the segments in the same directory, and drag-and-drop the first one onto StuffIt Expander, on PC or Mac.
I have something of an issue here.
After downloading the 3-part .sit file, which I managed to concatenate with a program called MacHacha (the only one that could deal with ".1" as opposed to ".001"), I then opened the .sit in Stuffit.
Stuffit (in OS X) manages to expand the file - - - almost. It gets stuck at the last 1/20th of the progress bar, and never finishes. After force quitting Stuffit, the disk image, while labelled as damaged by the system, opens well enough. However, after mounting it in SheepShaver (running OS 9) I noticed that the disk had trouble launching certain files, as well as the interactive "Start Here" program.
The same issue happened with MacAddict 002, only this time more of the individual files, demos, and the like would not open.
Are the downloadable sit files corrupt, or has MacHacha concatenated them incorrectly?
I've currently uploaded everything up to #29. I own every disc up to 72, and a few more after that. A full list of which discs I will be able to upload are on the Old Mac Archive's "Wish List" page.
