Short: Splitting utilities with gui. v.1.0 OS 3.0 required.
Uploader: vettorel@psy.unipd.it (Vettorello Marco)
Author: vettorel@psy.unipd.it (Vettorello Marco)
Type: util/misc
THESE TWO UTILS NEED AMOS.LIBRARY AND GUI.LIBRARY IN YOUR LIBS.
They are included in this archive.
YOU MUST START THEM FROM A SHELL TYPING:
1> RUN MASTER
or
1> RUN SUBSLINK
DO NOT START THEM FROM WORKBENCH!!!! THEY CRASH ON MY SET UP.
Master : choose the source file, then how many files you want to create or
how big must be the files to be created.
It uses memory in a strange way : if you want to split a file of
1000000 bytes you don't need the same memory area avaiable but
the memory area of the splitted files, for example you want that
file to be divided into 4 files then you need 250000 bytes of free
memory. At the end of the filename will be added "_X" where X is
the number of the file.
There is a on line help.
SubSlink : choose the source file, then the destination file(s). In this
program you have to specify the starting and ending bytes for
your file(s). For example you have a file of 1024 bytes, you can
save the first 256 bytes in a particular file and the remaning 768
bytes in a different file. You can specify as destination only 4
different file. (This may change in future releases).
At the end of the filename will be added "_X" where X is the
number of the file. You need as many free memory as the file length.
If the file is 1000000 bytes long you need 1000000 bytes of free
memory. (This may change in future releases).
====> PS: THE FIRST BYTE IS NUMBER 0 (ZERO).
====> When you indicate the starting bytes insert 0 (zero) if you want
====> the file containig the first byte!!! But if you want to strip the
====> first byte then indicate 1 as starting byte!!
Example: foo.file is 1024 bytes long. You want to divide it into
2 files of the same length.
Then : First file - name ram:foo.file
- starting byte is 0 (zero)
- ending byte is 512
Second file - name ram:foo.file
- starting byte is 512
- ending byte is 1024
At the end of the filename will be added "_X" where X is the number
of the file (only from 1 to 4).
So we type:
Ram Disk: >list
foo.file_1 512 ----rwed Oggi 16:16:16
foo.file_2 512 ----rwed Oggi 16:16:16
foo.file 1024 ----rwed Oggi 16:04:19
Development:
they were developed on an A4000/040 AGA 8mb fast 2mb chip Atapi CD24x
120mb HD using AMOSPro v2 and GuiExtension v1.7 by Pietro Ghizzoni..
Freeware:
these are free utilities. If you want send an e-mail.
