winRAR diagnostic error 1: unexpected archive end?

[Wayne]

First of all, try using WinACE instead of WinRAR. Also, those other file segments should be c00, c01, c02, etc. - not a00... Files like a00, if I remember correctly, were segments from either ARC or ARJ. I've already unACE'd StuntGP on my machine (and burned it) and it was all cXX extentions. Of course I used WinACE because WinRAR didn't like it.

If you still have problems after trying WinACE, you may have a damaged or incomplete file (probably the first file of the series).

BTW, I get the "Unexpected archive end" message on another set of files I downloaded (can't recall what right now - I'm on vacation and not near my desktop computer). The problem with my files is that they're damaged (they were larger than 20,000kb each even though they should've been exactly 20,000kb (19.51mb). I ran WinRAR recover and got them back down to the right size but the first one still gives me the error... Oh well.
