Help with Mac-Version of HJSplit

Hey fellow addicts,

Read the FAQ and didn't see this discussed since it doesn't have to do with BT but I thought I'd give it a shot here in Tech Support.

My problem is this: I'm away at school for a Japanese program this summer and we can't use BT on our comps. I decided to try and d/l some dramas via, for example, LJ communities which upload eps and movies for members. However, due to file sizes, they have to cut the eps/movies into pieces and then offer a link to each part for download.

Now, everybody uses HJSplit to put the indiv files pieces into one file. But having a Mac I can't use HJSplit, so I checked the HJS website and did get a program that's supposed to work for Mac.

However when I d/l the individual file pieces, they are saved to my desktop as "Binary" files. I'm kind of stupid at the details of comps so, I thought it wasn't a problem and proceeded to merge all the pieces into one file using the program I downloaded.

Problem: The program then creates one large "binary" file, which when clicked on, opens in WordEdit (Mac version of Notepad) as a bunch of code.

Clearly this is a problem. I'm not sure if the files are merely getting screwed up in the download process 'cause I've got a Mac, or if I'm doing something wrong.

I figure someone else has got to have a Mac out there who can help me. Really want to keep up with the new series coming out.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

HJspllit on the mac has worked funky for me. i use "split & concat": http://www.xs4all.nl/~loekjehe/Split&Concat/. this works the same.
