- File splitter - V1.0 Copyright 1987-1988 by Richard Lee Stockton
- permission granted for non-profit use and
- distribution. However, contributions sent
- to the author will be gladly and most
- gratefully spent. (address below)
-
- USAGE: Split <path>filename <partsize>
-
- EXAMPLE:
- cd ram:
- split df1:City.anim - will break City.anim from df1: into 100k files
- named 1, 2, etc. on the RAM: disk.
- EXAMPLE:
- cd vd0:
- split War.data 150000 - will break War.data on VD0: into 150k files
- named 1, 2, etc. on VD0:.
-
- Split was written to fill a need for a simple file splitter to
- break down the size of those very large animation files into files
- that your average BBS user can download within his time limit. Feel
- free to use it for any other purpose you can imagine. It will work
- on ANY type of file.
-
- Destination files are written to the CURRENT directory. They are named
- using numerals 1-9 then capital letters A-Z. If split is unable to
- find the sourcefilename, it will quit.
-
- Split does not test to see if there is enough room in the current
- directory for all the partfiles. That part is up to you.
-
- DEFAULT partsize = 100k bytes.
- MINimum partsize = 1k bytes. (why would you want 'em this small?)
- MAXimum partsize = 1 Million bytes. (1000k) (...or this big?)
-
- If <partsize> falls out of range, the default partsize (100k) will be
- used. Maximum number of parts = 35 (suffix = 1-9 then A-Z).
-
- RE-CONNECT EXAMPLE:
- join 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F as Action.anim
-
- REMEMBER!:
- The `join' command limits the number of parts to 15. (The 15th part
- is F). If you have more than 15 parts, join them in sections and
- then join the sections. (Put an `executeme' file in with the pieces,
- so nobody gets confused! :-)
