- What is ssplit?
-
- The purpose of this small utility is to split one big file into several
- small files. This is helpfull if you want to copy a big file to floppy
- disks, which normally wouldn't fit on one disk. ssplit splits the big file
- in several smaller files, which will fit on a disk.
-
- The small can be put together using the AmigaDOS Join programm or something
- similiar.
-
- ssplit's template:
-
- FROM/A,TO/A,SIZE/K/N,BUFFER/K/N,DDOFS/S,DDMSDOS/S,HDFFS/S,HDMSDOS/S
-
-
- FROM: the file you want to split; no wildcards allowed
-
- TO: the destination directory, where the splitted files should go to;
- the files are named <from-filename>.1 to <from-filename>.x;
- the <from-filename> gets shortened, if the resulting filename
- would be longer than 30 chars
-
- SIZE: the size in _blocks_ of the splitted files; default is 1730 blocks,
- such a file just fits on double density disk using the fastfilesystem
-
- BUFFER: ssplit needs a buffer to read a part of the <from-file>;
- the size of this buffer can be limited by BUFFER (in bytes!);
- normally ssplit uses the maximum size of a splitted file or
- half of the largest available memory block.
-
- DDOFS: use 1648 blocks for the splitted files; these files will fit
- on a double density "old"-filesystem disk
-
- DDMSDOS: use 1425 blocks for the splitted files; these files will fit
- on a double density MS-DOS disk
-
- HDFFS: use 3566 blocks for the splitted files; these files will fit
- on a high density disk formatted with ffs
-
- HDMSDOS: use 3566 blocks for the splitted files; these files will fit
- on a MS-DOS high density disk
-
- The options SIZE, DDOFS, DDMSDOS, HDFFS and HDMSDOS are mutually
- exclusive.
-
- some examples:
-
- ssplit dh0:bigfile dh0: size 1000
- splits the file dh0:bigfile in dh0:bigfile.1, bigfile.2, etc.;
- each part of bigfile shall be 1000 blocks (= 500kB);
- the size of the buffer used by ssplit will be 500kB or half of the
- largest memory block available, if a continuous memory block of
- 500kB isn't available
-
- ssplit dh0:bigfile dh0: size 1000 buffer 1024
- same as above, but uses a buffer of 1024 bytes
-
- ssplit dh0:bigfile dh1:
- splits dh0:bigfile into dh1:bigfile.1, dh1:bigfile.2, etc.;
- each dh1:bigfile.? will be 1730 blocks long (this file will
- just fit on an fastfilesystem double-density-disk)
-
- ssplit dh0:bigfile dh1: HDFFS
- splits dh0:bigfile into dh1:bigfile.1, dh1:bigfile.2, etc.;
- each dh1:bigfile.? will be 3566 blocks long (this file will
- just fit on an fastfilesystem high-density-disk)
-
- Join dh1:bigfile.1 dh1:bigfile.2 dh1:bigfile.3 AS dh1:bigfile
- this puts the splitted files together to the old big file,
- but you must put them together in the _right order_!
