Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains the following files:
- ReadMe (this file)
- ReadMe.info (icon)
- DMakefile (makefile for Aztec C)
- SplitQ.c (source code)
- SplitQ (executable)
To use
SplitQ
you have to work with:
- one Amiga running under at least AmigaOS 1.3.
Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SplitQ
is the contrary to the AmigaDOS 'join' command. It reads
one part of a file and writes it to a new file. The format is
like in BASIC's MID$() function.
Start from Shell
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You can start
SplitQ
only from shell, since it a DOS command
(except for the possibility to start it from Workbench through
the menu item 'Execute Command...').
The format is »SplitQ SOURCEFILE/A,DESTFILE/A,OFFSET/N/A,
LENGTH/N«, where only the last parameter is optional. The
sourcefile is read from offset to the end or only the specified
length of it. This part is written to the destination file.
Examples:
SplitQ file part1 0 200 (saves 200 bytes from the beginning)
SplitQ file part2 200 500 (saves 500 bytes from offset 200)
SplitQ file part3 700 (saves rest of file from offset 700)
Join part1 part2 part3 AS copy_of_file
(rejoins the parts back to the original file)
