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.
