When Maggy posts a single Part file I don't have any problem with it. It
is just multipart files that won't combine and I end up with a damaged file
or some other error when I try to unzip.
I haven't asked for a repost of all the Maggy files, mostust let go. But
occasionally there is something I'd like to get.
When I combined this last posting, it has parts of 617kb and 301 kb but when
it combines to a rar file it is 224 kb. I get the message: The archive
is either in unknown format or damaged. I recombine time and again and
still get the same error message. I don't want to be an imposition to
anyone, I just occasionally ask for help.
Does any of this make sense as to why I have that problem? Thanks for
your help.
