OK so why couldn't it handle my archive?  I copied it over to a Windows
box and Winrar extracted it just fine.

Is there some trick to unpacking a multi part archive with unrar-free?
I cd'ed to the directory and unrar'ed the .rar file, expecting it to
pick up .r00 etc automatically and it didn't...

(of course it's idiotic to post anything in multi part RAR format these
days but that's another issue...)
