Another way (if you don't mind the larger files) is to 
o  write all of the parts to the same file from within 
   news.
o  transfer those files to your machine
o  use a UUdecode program for the IBM.  
	
The advantages are:
You don't have to deal with file protection and ownership on the 
unix system (if that is one of your problems), binary file 
transfers, and taking out the ----cut----here--- stuff.
I use QUUDCD 2.1 Theodore Kaldis and it has proved reliable.
The big disadvantage is that the files are about 50% larger
when uuencoded.
