I downloaded some files via ftp from mars.ee.msstate.edu.  Several of them seem
to be in parts, with each part called something like "1!PROGRAMNAME" (with each
file having a different number in the beginning).

I tried running each of the individual parts, but each time I tried, the 
computer just crashed or I'd type 'run' and nothing would happen.  Are these
programs in some archive form which needs to be decoded?  I have never seen 
files named like that on any other system, and there's no "lnx", "arc", or any
other suffix at the end which could tell me what kind of de-archive program to
use.

Any ideas out there?
