Hi John,
I'm a Mac user and after a bit of fiddling, managed to extract the file. My download of the five parts appended an extension of .txt to parts 2-5. Using Command+i on each of these, I removed the .txt part of the filenames in the "Names & Extension" box. I then used MacHacha to join the parts. Clicking on the resultant zip file produced the required avi. There was still a minor problem opening this, but the VLC software I use to view avi files repaired it OK.
Hope this helps.
