Hi Moira (and others for information), The obvious solution to your problem <grin> is to re-combine the six sections in a suitable way without losing any data. This is not easy to describe to someone via e-mail without examining the file sections thenselves. I you care to e-mail all of them to my address below, I can do a trial run for you and then give you direct and specific instructions for re-combining the ones at your end.
