Why is it that files posted to comp.sys.mac.binaries and sumex.aim
are divided in to smaller files?  Earlier today, I downloaded VisionLab
from sumex.aim, and tried to unbinhex it with Stuffit 1.31, but Stuffit
hung in never never land.

Eventually, I had to use macwrite and cut and paste all seven files into
one file.  Binhex V did not do it either.

Help?

Scott
