It is not a multimedia file. It is a book.

Out of the eighty-five thousand-odd groups carried by my service do the

How about giving a blow by blow about how to read the files with Microsoft
OE, using what free program (totally free, not trial, not pay by using an
advertisers product.

Get Forte Free Agent on Windows or MT-NewsWatcher on Mac. Both are free. Both
are real newsreaders. MSOE is not a real newsreader.


I am fairly smart with a computer, but I could not figure it out in a
reasonable period of time, and gave up. I gotta think there is a better
way.


The file in question comes in 248 parts. To access it in MSOE you'd have to
select all 248 parts, download them, combine them in some way, and then
decode them with one the myriad free .RAR decoders. (I usually use QuickPAR
on Windows or MaccPAR Deluxe on Macs)

Note that if you use a real newsreader, such as Free Agent or MT-NW, you can
download all 248 parts with one click. If you insist on using MSOE, you're
going to be working too hard when you try to download multi-segment binary
posts. This is because MSOE was not designed to be a real newsreader and you
are trying to use it for activities which are beyond its specs. You can waste
time using MSOE, or you can ignore large binaries, or you can get a real
newsreader. Pick one. It's up to you.
