Some usage tips for SPLIT:
o To split a very large file onto several floppies with varying amounts
of space available on each floppy, use the (F) option (number of files)
and ask to split the big file into -ONE- file. As soon as a floppy is
full, the program will end the current output file and request another
disk. Each disk's usable space will be exactly filled. The output files
will be different sizes unless the floppies were all empty, but when the
files are re-united, the entire original file will be there and the crc
will verify properly.
o To give the output files the same basename (filename root) as the
original file, use a dot "." as the output file basename.
Eg: "split BIG.FIL . f 3 n"
Splits BIG.FIL into 3 files named BIG.001, BIG.002, and BIG.003
For same output basename in another directory, use any valid directory
name for the second command parameter: ".." puts output files with the
original basename in the parent directory, or "d:\dir\" puts files with
the same basename into another disk\directory. (These shortcuts work
only with versions of SPLIT above v5.17).
o Use the (B) option to remove the EOF marker or any number of bytes from
the end of an existing file. If you want to remove the last 5 bytes
from a BIGFILE of 123,456 bytes, you would specify 123,451 (B)ytes per
output file. OUTFIL.001 will have the desired 123,451 bytes and the
smaller OUTFIL.002 will have 5 bytes. OUTFIL.001 can be renamed as
desired and OUTFIL.002 is erased.
