Hello everyone,

I feel like such a rookie, newbie, non-computer literate right now LOL... I just bought a mac as I'm a Windows user looking for a change (after countless amount of blue screens and forced restarts) LOL

Well I started downloading a few apps that i think will be useful as i start getting used to the whole Mac enviroment. Some of the applications i've downloaded come in a set of zip files (for example I got a movie converter which comes in 21 zip files, file name extensions are *.zip.001 thru *.zip.021) I've doubleclicking on the *.zip.001 file and opening it with BOMarchivehelper as i've read on an older post; however, it doesnt work, I tried opening the files using Stuffit 10 and it just creates another 21 *.cpgz files...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sorry to assume, but I'm guess you're pirating an application? Any legitimate Mac application I've ever seen comes in a Disk Image, not 21 individual zip files.

Can't help you there...

I will assume split zip works like rar. Typically, opening any one of them will open your extraction utility, and you will see the file (like final.cut.studio.2.dmg or w/e you got lol ), and you just extract it.

If it doesn't, I guess just try extracting the one that ends only in .zip
