Dear webmaster,

I made 2 request of binary :

XGET ftp://fuzzy.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/pub/nefcon/nfcn_w32.zip

XUUENCODE
http://www.winsite.com/cgi-bin/dload/84/win3/demo/fscnet10.zip

www4mail returned the requests with split parts. After coping the parts 
together, I fire uudecode and munpack program. ONLY FIRST PART DECODED!

the fscnet10.zip has 7 parts. I tried to edit the concatenated file, delete 
every  last line near *end* (maybe used as verification) and every *end* except 
the last part. Then uudecode the file again. 20 bytes lost and the output file 
can not be unziped.

I tried for hours to recover the files but failed.

I would like to ask your kind advice as how to recover long split binary files

Thank you in advance.

Cheng Xiaoping
