Name: The File Chopper
Version: 2.1
INSTALLATION/RUN
The program consists of just one executable file, no installation,
no DLLs or other supplementary files needed. Fits on one floppy and
may be run directly from there. A batch file for the restoring of
the original file may me created and used instead of the program.
DESCRIPTION
This program is designed for moving files between computers, where
the files are too large to fit on one floppy, SuperDisk, SyQuest,
in an e-mail, or whatever medium is used to transport the file.
The program splits the original file into smaller ones of desirable
sizes, and, of course, restores it later. These sizes can be chosen
arbitrarily by the user, or the program may find out by itself how
much space is available on the used medium. Therefore, you may use
non-empty and even partly corrupted disks. Detailed help is
available from inside the program, which can easily be printed out.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Each and every smaller file may be dedicated an own size if needed.
Pre-defined sizes for most media. This list is fully editable by the user.
The program remembers all input and uses these as default values next
time. This includes file paths, chosen file sizes and even the position
and size of the program's window. There is also the possibility
to create a self-uniting batch file, that may be used instead of the
program for restoring the big file.
Using switches, it is possible to split files without having to see or
use the program's window. This is valuable if one wants to automate file
splitting.
It's "multilingual"; using the "Language" menu you may switch between
English, Swedish, and German. This list might be enlarged in the future.
To fine-tune the speed you may specify how much memory that is allowed
to be used for the splitting/restoring part of the program.
