I am looking for any program that will split up large files into smaller ones, but will do this on the HARD DRIVE. I am aware that there are many which will do this when you are copying to floppies, but I would like to be able to do this on the hard drive... If you could also give me an FTP site where I could get this, It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ./*- -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ storm@cs.mcgill.ca McGill University It's 11pm, do YOU Marc Wandschneider Montreal, CANADA know what time it is? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But most split utilities just literally split files into smaller chucks, so they are not specific to any drive type. There are no copying or backup operations involved. (There may be those too, but that has to be found out from the file lists. I don't know on the fly.) The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.37, or by using our mail server (use the latter if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to send prerecorded instructions on request. (If you don't get the instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email address cannot be reached by a simple email reply. It that case, contact your system manager for devicing a proper mail path for you, because unless you do, you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail server anyway. If you are in North America first consider using an ftp site near you to spare the overseas load.) ...................................................................
