The following describes the different entry values for split:

Select file(s) to split
Zip file(s) before splitting
Select Target File Name
Select Destination directory
Split type
Span disks
Fixed size
Predefined split size
Split set creation option
Create entire set
Create just one piece

Select file(s) to split
Use either the "Add" toolbar button or the "Open" toolbar button to browse for the file(s) that you would like to split.
Zip file(s) before splitting
If this option is selected, AxMan will zip the selected file(s) before splitting.   The files will either be zipped individually or zipped as one file depeding on the advanced split multi-file options.
Select Target File Name 
This field is mandatory unless you select the advanced split option to "auto-generate filenames for each piece".  This field specifies the base file name for each split piece.  When splitting a file "foo.exe", you can specify that the target file name is "bar". In this example, the split pieces will be named, "bar.1.axman", "bar.2.axman", ..., bar.n.axman.
Select Destination directory
This is the fully qualified path (drive letter and path) to the directory that you want the split pieces written.  This directory can be a directory on your hard drive, your floppy drive, a zip drive, etc.  NOTE: Currently AxMan does not support splitting directly to a CD-RW.  In this case you must first split the files to your hard drive and then copy the files to the CD-RW.
Split type
Span disks
Split the file to pieces that will fit onto the destination directory.   This option is used when splitting to a floppy disk or a zip disk.  AxMan will use whatever free space is available on the given disk and then request another.
Fixed size
This option allows you to specify the size of each file in the split set (except the last which may be less).  You may specify the size in either bytes, kilobytes, or megabytes.
Predefined split size
This option allows you to select from one of a few popular split sizes that are useful for the specified medium.
Split set creation option:
Create entire set
Split the entire file.
Create just one piece
Create only the piece specified.  This is particulary useful when a single piece of a split set has become corrupted and you don't want to have to resplit the entire file
