Hi to all you Snow Leopard adopters!. Okay, so you may or may not know, that Unix systems, including Mac OS X, have the same native functionality as the application "Split & Concat" (which currently DOESN'T work on Snow Leopard!).

Here is what you do, to join your .001, .002 etc files:

1/ Launch "Terminal.app" & cd to the location of the .001 .002 .003 (etc) files, that normally require "Split & Concat" to join. Eg, if you download to the default location - ~/Downloads, type:

Code:
cd ~/Downloads

2/ do:

Code:
ls

... to show all the files, then do the following:

Make sure you know what filetype the RESULTING file will be, afterwards; for example:

Code:
File1.avi.001
File1.avi.002
FIle1.avi.003
File1.avi.004

... would mean that the RESULTING file, will be "File1.avi", so what you would need to type into Terminal would be this:

Code:
cat File1.avi.001 File1.avi.002 File1.avi.003 File1.avi.004 > File1.avi

Rinse and repeat, adding as many parts as there are to your split file, to the command, as necessary. If there are five parts, just add them ALL, sequentially, as shown above.

Who needs Split & Concat, eh?! ;)
 
MacHacha works fine.

I found this somewhere:

Here is my testing to date:

Stuffit Expander: Does not recognize the file format
MacHacha: Joined a 7.8 gig file successfully
hjsplit_g.jar: Needed to be on the same drive as the files, but
joined a 7.8 gig file successfully
Slice: Quit unexpectedly 2x at the 3.3 gig mark
The Unarchiver: Does not recognize the file format

Thanks, Larry! :p

"Pretty, prettttty good", after all then?.
 
thanks op. The less stuff I have to experiment with the better. Will get split and concat when its released though.
 
edit due to recent success.
Machacha now works for me using the 64 bit or the universal for SL
 
MacHacha

I recently downloaded a torrent COD6MW2 for mac off of thepiratebay, and I had 114 zip files that no program could recognize. I saw this here and downloaded MacHacha and it worked easily :eek:
Just open one of the files with MacHacha, and it processes and merges all of them in a small window.

When done it kept previous files incase it didn't work and created one large zip file compatible with Archive Utility.
