USENET

How does one join split files with extensions like ".001 .002 .003 .004…" back together into one file again?

Split files like these are likely made by Windows users using the QuickPar program, and as such linux users can rejoin them into the original file using command line options of the pararchive package. Using the following command par will see the split files as additional blocks and it will check, repair and concatenate (aka joining) the files into the single original file or files.

par2 r myfile.par2 myfile.*

Well, today is the last day that Comcast offered Usenet service. Has Eternal September finally come to an end? While I came along after the AOL added Usenet, I was first exposed to newsgroups (and Linux) in my first semester at PennState. I guess I have always regarded Usenet to be superior to forums due to the higher quality of responses. Simply put between IRC and Usenet, I have always been able to find the answer to my question, or at least be put on the correct path to said answer. Fortunately, I subscribe to an independent Usenet provider, , so my Usenet will not disappear.
