SPLITS
Split a binary file into multiple chunks
by John Walker
Revision 0 -- April 12th, 1993
SPLITS is a simple utility which splits a binary file into one or more
chunks with a given maximum size. SPLITS is handy when you want to
send a large binary file over a modem while minimising the loss if a
disconnection occurs. It can also be used to break up large files
into pieces acceptable to electronic mail system, or to subdivide
files into chunks which fit on media such as floppy discs.
No special tool is required to reassemble the original file. Unix
users can use CAT, while MS-DOS users can reconstruct a split file the
COPY /B.
