I'm finishing up a program that will automatically segment large files into 32K parts so that they can be run through the Executioner. The program also automatically writes the reconstruction program. As far as I can tell everything works as it is supposed to, except that when I break down S16 files (subtype $0100) and then reconstruct them the sub- type changes to $0000. That wouldn't bother me except that the files won't run. The one's I've tested it on give me a System Error $110A or $110B. Anyone know what's going on here? Email back to me or post here; I'll read it either way. Thanks in advance Kevin Lepard Bitnet: Sasquatch@albion.bitnet

I don't think it'd be acceptable to have a splitter that lost the auxtype of a file, especially given that Executioner preserves it... Why don't you just have the first segment of the file hold the original auxtype? That way, your re-segmenter could just suffix all segments past the first to the first segment. Also, the splitter could just duplicate the auxtype for the first segment, and ignore the rest. Make sense?
