- Short: Split,Join&Recover PowerUP/WarpOS/020
- Author: Richard Jørgensen, Jarmo Laakkonen (PPC port)
- Uploader: Jarmo Laakkonen (jami@dlc.fi)
- Type: misc/unix
-
- This is a port of the sploiner program by Richard Joergensen for PowerUP
- amigas. I also included MS-DOS and SPARC versions from original sploiner.lha
- archive and compiled a special version for 68020. Comes with full
- source which should compile out of the box with latest SAS/C. WarpOS
- version is compiled with VBCC.
-
- From original readme:
-
- Description:
- ============
- This tool is for splitting up large files and rejoining them later, to
- facilitate transportation of large files on floppy disks.
-
- It also offers error recovery, so a faulty disk no longer means lost data.
-
-
- Functions:
- ==========
- - Split a large file into a several smaller files.
-
- - Join a set of smaller files to one large file. (like cat, join etc.)
-
- - Recreate a lost file by using the other files, and an extra file of
- error recovery information.
-
-
- New in PPC version:
-
- -You can specify the file buffer size with -b option
-
- -Default split buffer size is now 45000 bytes and join buffer size is
- 50000 bytes.
-
- -New switch -q. When used the byte counter isn't shown while splitting.
-
- Note about the WarpOS version:
-
- Due to compiler trouble the WarpOS version doesn't support changing the
- buffer size and it is always set to 20000 bytes when splitting and
- 15000 bytes when joining. Also writing of shadowfiles is not supported
- and you can't use repair (quite obvious as you can't write the shadow file).
- Even because of this the WarpOS version is as fast as the PowerUP version
- except for joining. I think this is because WarpOS has faster context
- switches compared to PowerUP software.
-
- I don't know if I've found a bug in VBCC WarpOS but it seems that fwrite()
- fails when trying to write more than 20000 bytes at once. Of course it
- could be that I'm doing something wrong but VBCC compiles the sources
- just fine for m68k and PowerUP.
