Convert 016 to 003

Understanding 016 and 003 file formats

The .016 and .003 file extensions are typically associated with split archive files. These files are parts of a larger file that has been divided into smaller segments for easier distribution or storage. The numbers in the extensions indicate the sequence of the parts. For example, a file with the extension .016 is the 16th part of the split archive, while .003 is the 3rd part.

Why convert 016 to 003?

Converting a .016 file to a .003 file is not a typical conversion process. Instead, it involves renaming or reordering the parts of a split archive to ensure they are in the correct sequence for reassembly. This might be necessary if the files were renamed incorrectly or if you need to troubleshoot issues with the archive.
