Help clarifying these instructions?

Below are some instructions which I've copied and pasted from Psyman's FAQ:

Q: I've "got" a game but when I decompress it I get a bunch of files with numbers at the end of their names! What are these and how am I supposed to make them run on Chankast?
A: These are ISO images that were splitted into multiple compressed files. You can decompress them by using a program like Winrar and decompressing the file that has the smallest number at its end (or the extension of a compressed archive). After that, the ISO image of the game will be extracted by the archive and you will be able to mount it using a virtual drive or burn it to a blank CD-R (W).


I've read this over a dozen times or so and still don't quite understand what he's talking about. I have a dump that meets the above descripition (after I decompress it, I get a bunch of files that end with numbers, i.e.
kal-3rds.001). However, these strange "number files" have already been decompressed once, right? So, how can you possibly decompress them again? Also, I'm really fuzzy on the part about how "the ISO image of the game will be extracted by the archive".

Psyman, or anyone else, any help in clarifying these instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

go and download 001 Joiner(google it)
after you injstall it, go to the folder where those files are and open the first (oo1) file and extract the iso with the program :matrix: :naughty:

I downloaded the joiner program (and the neccessary .ocx files, had to google those seperately). I split the file as you instructed then mounted it on my virtual drive. However, it's still not booting. Probably need a boot disk... Anyway, thanks for the help.

Some idiot just put all the files in 1 archive. You can still just open the 001 file in winrar and decompress it.

Bulk compressing archives is possible, you can put a compressed zip in a compressed rar in a compressed etc etc etc. Of course you won't save much space from it, but it can be done for various reasons.
