RZSplit V. 1.4 - A DOS utility to split files to make them fit on a floppy.
==============
The utility RZSplit is actually 2 programs in one. It will not only
split a files into smaller files, but also create your original file from
the smaller files.
I have tried to "split" ZIP files using other programs, but none of them
worked if you had a larger file in your ZIP. This program will change all
that.
This utility works with ANY kind of DOS file. (i.e. ZIP, ARJ, TXT)
The syntax to split a large file is quite easy. Just type:
"rzsplit <filename> [288] [144] [12] [720] [360]"
<filename> = The DOS file you want to split.
[288] = RZSPLIT will write out files that are 2.8M in size.
[144] = RZSPLIT will write out files that are 1.4M in size.
[12] = RZSPLIT will write out files that are 1.2M in size.
[720] = RZSPLIT will write out files that are 720K in size.
[360] = RZSPLIT will write out files that are 360K in size.
for example, say the file "altersnd.zip" is 600,000 bytes. If we were
to type:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
C:> rzsplit altersnd.zip 360
RZSplit creating Split files..
Writing out: altersnd.001 --\ These are called "split files",
Writing out: altersnd.002 --/ and they are 360K or smaller.
RZSplit Finished.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The syntax to create your original file is also quite easy. Just type:
"rzsplit <filename> [-d]"
<filename> = The DOS file you want to create. (WITHOUT THE EXTENSION)
[-d] = If given, RZSPLIT will delete your "split files", after they
have been read.
Now say you want to create your "altersnd.zip" file by using your
"split files". If you want your "split files" deleted, use the "-d" option.
Make sure ALL your "split files" are in your current directory, and type:
------------------------------------------------------------------
C:> rzsplit altersnd
RZSplit creating Original file..
Opening: altersnd.001
Building: altersnd.zip
Opening: altersnd.002
RZSplit Finished.
------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The "split files" written in a previous version of RZSPLIT will
NOT work with version 1.4.
LEGAL STUFF
===========
The programmer cannot accept responsibility for any damages that may be
incurred by the use of RZSPLIT.
This program is FREEWARE and may be copied and distributed without charge
and without further permission to anyone and everyone. I would love to see
thousands, even millions of people use this program. This program must not
be sold for profit. It may be included with other products, commercial or
otherwise, as long as this text file is included, and both it and the
program are not modified in any way.
Revision Notes
==============
06/08/94 - Initial Release (version 1.0).
10/21/94 - Version 1.1. Improved on the documentation, added ability
to delete or keep the "split files".
10/23/94 - Version 1.2. Increased speed of file access by changing
the buffer size from 1K to 8194K.
10/27/94 - Version 1.3. Added more error checking code, and changed
buffer size to 4096K, to fit more on each floppy.
11/01/94 - Version 1.4. Changed format of Split Files to include
file size of the original file. This is useful because now
I now if the re-created file does not match the original file,
there is a problem.
