To those who can join segmented files ...

I have tried several times to take a file from the Mac binaries that has
been stuffed, binhex'd, segmented, and and tried to join, un-binhex, and
unstuff with Stuffit 1.51 (and 1.31) to NO AVAIL.

I have been able to download the single ones and make them ready for the
Mac, but these segmented ones I have NOT.

I have used United 1.1 that Tim so graciously sent me but this has not
solved my problem, yet.  Here is what I do:

  1.  Open United 1.1 and follow the screen prompts to select the first
      segment, then the second, etc.  It makes a name with .hqx appended
      and saves it for me.
  2.  I then go to Stuffit to "decode binhex file" where I get the
      warning box that says:
		"Sorry, but a disk related error (Unexpected
		 EOF) has prevented the operation from 
		 concluding."

I thought I was doing this correctly to join these parts together.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong ??????
