-
- I have a couple of comments, since I have written a split program
- also myself (the reference included).
-
- 1) I very much welcome the alternatives to achieve the same tasks.
- 2) Greg's comes with Turbo Pascal sources. An important plus.
- 3) If the base name is over 5 characters long and the switshes are
- not used correctly, all but the last chuck are overwritten. Greg
- might wish to look into this dilemma.
- 4) In the TP programming we have both utilized BlockRead. This is
- important, because else the programs are too slow for large
- files.
