Is there some trick to getting alt.binaries to work?
All I get is gobbledygook.

Thanks,Jordan

Best thing for snagging binaries is Binary News Reaper - BNR.
Google it, it's free.

Gunner, what did you find interesting? most of the recent posts have
been motorcycle factory shop manuals.

There were a whole series of Nasa manuals/texts..umbilical
construction, mars rover papers, etc etc.

I tried to snag the Indian motorcycle books, didnt get all of them and
have repeatedly asked for a manual for a 72-78 Honda Xl 350 with no
luck

I missed those

Yeah, never seen that one anywhere.
Most of the stuff recently posted has been crotch-rockets, plus a couple
of HD titles.

Actually, I've been looking for a Yamaha QT-50 manual to get our pit
bike running again.

Thanks for that - got it and it seems to run OK.
Now, I've downloaded a group of 5 files (BMW_R1150...) and want to read
them, but not sure what to do next. (I did try to read the help docs.)
The files have different suffixes: .par2, .rar.3, PAR2.x

These I think need to be stitched together somehow. Any tips?

Hmmmm, might have one of those around somewhere. I still have an XL250
bike up the farm and a complete spare motor sitting in my shop.

I definitely have a Yamaha DT250 manual of the same vintage. Saw it
last time I was digging thru some old stuff. The bike is up the farm,
too.

One of these days I'm gonna Ebay the whole lot.

I use Grabit for the downloads. The beta is free, will be pay when it
gets out of beta.

Then WinRAR to assemble the parts, not free but reasonable.
Trial version is available.

Works for me.
