john64451 is on a distinguished road
Decoding downloaded multiple .bin files.

As a newbie to the Mac I have downloaded from the internet a series of multi-part files where the file names are filename.zip.001.1.bin, filename.zip.001.2.bin, filename.zip.001.3.bin etc through to filename.zip.001.60.bin.
I know that the '001' refers to the fact that it is disk 1 of a series but I cannot work out which is the best program to decode and restore to original. I suspect that I need to use one program to decode the .bin files and then possibly something like 'Split&Concat' to join the parts into one zip file and then unzip the file.

My problem is finding a program that will recognise the .bin files and decode them. I have tried 'Stuffit v10 & v12' and also 'BetterZip' but without success. The files were downloaded on a PC so is it possible that the PC has in some way made them an unrecognisable file format to the Mac, I think this is unlikely though. The files were stored on a FAT32 hard disk which the Mac is quite happy to read.

Your thoughts and advice will be greatly appreciated. Regards, John64451

MisterMe will become famous soon enough
The best utility to decode this is Stuffit Expander. You may also try The Unarchiver.
