Default Please help!!

Hello all !!!
Wonder if anyone there can help me with a problem, and it's gotta be so easy, that I'll probably kick myself LOL!! It's been years since I used DOS, and just can't remember what to do!
What it is, is that I downloaded a program off Abandonia, and the unpacking program I use is WinRar.... it had unpacked what I had downloaded okay, but here's an example of what I got,,,,
AAAAAAAA.rar would be the original that I unpacked, and here is what I got...
BBBBBB.rar
CCCCC.rar
DDDDD.rar
EEEEE.rar
FFFFF.rar

What I tried is to unpack in the same folder, but it wouldn't work, because there is one filename in each the the unpacked rar's that had the same name.
I know the answer has to be easy, but it's been so long since I worked with DOS, that I can't remember what to do.
Any help from anybody would be appreciated!!!

Thanks so much!
Don (eagledad97)

Rereading what this guy is saying, I am almost certain that he is refering in trying to unarchive splitted archives.

Please tell us which game is that.
The archive in question will have to be replaced.

What file is repeated? Maybe it's OK to overwrite it (try this).

Maybe we should fix this kind of archives... EDIT: OK Horseman says we should, I agree.

Like I said earlier, I am pretty sure that the guy wants help about splitted archives.

Like rar archives: example.rar, example.r00, example.r01, etc.

Could be wrong though...
