[Reposted from comp.binaries.ibm.pc. DF] Sorry to do this, does anyone have the split program that was posted back in April. I seem to have gotten the new version distributed with the picnix update, or some such, and replaced my old version and my backup as well. But the new version does not do byte wise spliting and is not as useful to me. If some one has the older version or any version allowing me to do byte specific splitting could they please mail it to me. Again I am sorry to post here as I know this is for binaries only No excuses, but I tried comp.sys.ibm and something went wrong, twice. NetJunkie, out of control at mach 2. look out kids.

Can any one out there direct me to where I can find a program called SPLIT. I use to have a copy of it but lost it. It is a utility that will chop large program into several parts so that you can store them to floppy disk. i.e. A 600K file would be split into two 300k files to save on a 360K disk.

You might be more interested in a program called ARJ, though. ARJ is an archiver whose syntax and operation is similiar to that of LHARC. ARJ also has, as one of it's many capabilities, to break up files into volumes (that is, smaller files). Arj does this in an intelligent manner, in that you can recover a file in the middle of a large archive without having to piece the whole archive back together (where as, if you break a 1Meg zip file into 3 files that will fit onto 360k floppies, you have to piece all 3 files together again even if you just want one file out of the archive). Quite a handy utility. It is available as ARJ100.ZIP in the pd1:<msdos.arc-lbr> directory. -- Mike Castle (Nexus) S087891@UMRVMA.UMR.EDU (preferred) | XEDIT: Emacs mcastle@mcs213k.cs.umr.edu (unix mail-YEACH!)| on a REAL Life is like a clock: You can work constantly, and be right | operating all the time, or not work at all, and be right twice a day. | system. :->
