- What is SplitFile:
-
- SplitFile is a complement command to Join. If you have ever
- encountered a file that you wanted to edit and found you
- didn't have enough memory to edit it, what do you do?
- This is the reason I wrote SplitFile. I recently downloded
- JR-Comm, and its UserManual is over 200K bytes long. I don't
- like wasting printer paper because authors like to put form-feeds
- into their docs, so I edit them out. Well, JR-Comm's manual
- didn't fit into my measly 512K memory. After running SplitFile,
- I have four SHORT files that I can edit, then Join them back
- into one file.
-
- Using SplitFile:
-
- Usage: SplitFile <filename> [TO <path>]
-
- filename = The file you want to split.
-
- (Optional)
- TO = The TO keyword MUST be included.
- path = The destination path. If path is a directory,
- the / (slash) directory specifier MUST be used.
- For a Disk, you must use the : (colon).
-
- Example:
- SplitFile bigfile TO files/
- writes splitfiles to directory "files/"
- in the current directory.
- SplitFile bigfile TO DF1:
- writes splitfiles to "DF1:".
- SplitFile bigfile
- writes splitfiles to the current directory.
-
- Files created with SplitFile have the form:
-
- File.sfn - Where n is 0 to whatever.
