What you must do now is use the "join" command to make one (1) file out of the four (4) you have...as follows: join jazzbench.zu1 jazzbench.zu2 jazzbench.zu3 jazzbench.zu4 as jazzbench.zuu Notice the last file has extension '.zuu'. This means it has been run thru the program 'uuencode' so that the binary is encoded in printable ASCII (Binary is not allowed on usenet). Run jazzbench.zuu thru the opposite program "uudecode" (format for the command is "uudecode jazzbench.zuu"). This will create the file "jazzbench.zoo" which you can now run thru ZOO (use the //x option). The file was split so that you didn't have to download one humongous file. I hope this has helped.
