If you order that parts alphabetically and stick them in a folder, DeHQX
should handle decoding the folder for you.

If you join them all together, in order, into a single file, then StuffIt
Expander 3 should decode it happily.  It will also decode the resulting
compactor or stuffit file.

Have fun,
