Default Some Cold War Planes

Hey Stan,
The photos are simply broken into segments so they can be sent through
servers which don't accept large files.
Notice that there are fractions in the subject lines of some of the
posts (1/7, 2/7, 3/7, etc). You have to open all seven of those files and
combine them to see the picture. If you click on xxxxxx 1/7 it will open
and show you the top one seventh of the image.
Here's how to do it:
Go to the newsgroup and look at the posts. Find one that has all of
the sections available (all seven parts or all fifteen parts, etc).
Hold down the Shift key with your left index finger.
With your right index finger click on the subject line that has the
1/7 in it [Some Cold War Planes - File 09 of 61 - B-47_3 (1/7)]
and then, while still holding down the Shift key, click on the 7/7
line [Some Cold War Planes - File 09 of 61 - B-47_3 (7/7)]
When you click on the 7/7 segment the seven subject lines will
magically be in a blue background.
Take your finger off of the Shift key. The blue background won't go
away.
Use the mouse and with the cursor in the blue area right click once.
A Dialogue box will appear.
In the Dialogue box click on Combine and Decode. Another box will
open. It says Order for Decoding. Look at it and make sure the segments
are in the proper order, from top to bottom. 1/7, 2/7, 3/7 etc. If they are
all in the proper order click on the Okay button. If not, click on the one
that's out of order and move it up or down to it's proper place. When they
are in the right order click on the Okay button.
Your computer will then combine the seven sections and open the photo
for you. You can then look at it, save it, etc.
Have fun and enjoy!! Tom in Pensacola
