pctuk Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hi I downloaded some *cough* shareware from a newsgroup today and it's arrived in many files such as xxxx.sit.1, xxxx.sit.2, etc etc. How can I open them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnotwhoisayiam Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 My experience with spanned sits is that if you open the first one and go to extract then Stuffit will automatically detect the rest and stick them together to unstuff the full file. Just out of interest what newsgroup prog do u use? ive just got my mac and havent been able to find a good one for binaries yet. --WeeJames :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Veteran Posted December 24, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 24, 2002 HiI downloaded some *cough* shareware from a newsgroup today and it's arrived in many files such as xxxx.sit.1, xxxx.sit.2, etc etc. How can I open them? Thanks How stupid is it to do the "*cough*" thing when saying Shareware. Given this thread deals with getting pirated software I don't see it having much of a longer life span. :: shakes her head and chuckles :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frod Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 hmm probably should have posted like this: i <cough> obtained <cough> my <cough> legal <cough> copy of microsoft office v.x from some <cough> general newsgroups <cough>. i was wondering if you could tell me how to extract it or tell me about some <cough> free <cough> software that i could <cough> obtain <cough> that would extract it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 All you had to do is ask how to open multiple .sit files labeled the way you described. Shame, shame. :no: :p Anyways, opening up the first and extracting it should extract them all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristotle-dude Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 Weird. When I first read the title of this thread, I thought it said "spanning slits". :p ;) :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkleytone Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 Thoth is a great newsgroup reader for binaries. Its not free tho. With a little bit of wrestling you can really get the free MT-Newswatcher to work great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
