[Jason Teoh]

i'm facing a problem wit 6 files of the extention from
*.001 to *.006 that created on 1996 run under windows
3.1, i believe they r compressed file, i hv tried few
split softwares but still cannot.

if i'm not mistaken the original file of this combined
files is adobe pagemaker's file.

to get back this important file, thank you very much!

Hi,

You need to decompress the file on a system that contains the same drive
compression tool that was used to create it. WinXP does not/can not
decompress files made with drivespace from the Win9x line.

Dblspace was released with Dos 6. It included windows programs to =
administer it (and an AV program)

Dos 6.22 was the first with Drvspace - a dblspace version without =
pirated code in it. (PS Dosshell works great in XP, 9x command.com can =
only handle 8 letter filenames but dos command.com [XP is dos 5] handles =
9 character - the 9th is used by dosshell to tell command it's dosshell =
issueing the command.)

Type=20
edit /r /70 filename

eg
edit /r /70 c:\myfile.001

Post the first few lines. This was a common way of numbering things.

If the first two characters are pk then

filename.001+filename.002+...+filename.006 newfilename.zip
--=20
