- Short Description:
- ------------------
- Brand New! LambChop v1.02 (self extracting format). Absolutely the finest
- file chopping system available. If you need to move big files from one
- machine to another with methods much slicker than what's available,
- LambChop is for you. Features: FASTer than xcopy, compression,
- error checking, drop to DOS between disks, operates from the DOS
- command line or a pull down menu system, directly access files when
- UnChopping, restores file attributes and time, available memory is your only
- limit! ShareWare.
-
- Long Description:
- -----------------
- Briefly, LambChop is a file splitter and mender with numerous fancy
- features.
-
- With LambChop, you may copy files from your hard drive to a smaller
- capacity removable disk drive. LambChop allows you to take a large disk
- file and spread it across several floppy disks. LambChop also handles
- multiple DOS files all at the same time.
-
- LambChop, unlike DOS copy, will never display a "disk full" message while
- chopping. LambChop is so flexible, you could effectively back up your
- entire hard drive!
-
- LambChop has the restore (UnChop) utility built right in! There is no
- reason to manage and piece back the disk segments yourself. LambChop
- creates its own directory of the files you choose to chop up. It then uses
- this directory to obtain the files you want to pull out and restore.
- Unlike DOS backup, you can pull out a specific file or files without
- sequentially restoring the entire volume of files.
-
- The LambChop utility runs from the command line in DOS. If you have files
- that need to be moved from one system to another, running LambChop from DOS
- can prove to be time saving. In daily backups, you frequently select the
- same options from a menu system over and over again. LambChop allows you to
- save your repetitive options to a fully automated configuration file.

-
-
- LambMenu is a program included with LambChop. It was designed to simplify
- the somewhat confusing DOS command line options for LambChop. LambMenu
- combines LambChops command line options in a easy to understand pull down
- window environment. LambMenu generates the command line options so you
- don't have to. Once you have generated the command line options, you can
- save them in a configuration file. The configuration file may be loaded
- from LambMenu, from the DOS command line, or even from a DOS batch file.
- In addition, you can run LambChop directly from LambMenu.
-
- LambChop has a unique niche that no other package currently offers. A
- directory of the entire volume is stored with each disk segment. This
- allows you to insert any disk segment and request any file or files,
- without having to remember their which disk the file you want starts on.
- LambChop will request the appropriate disk segment and directly locate your
- files!
