FUNCTIONALITY:
This software allows you to split large files into just about any file size. This is especially handy for copying large files to diskette or sending files via email (due to size restrictions on some ISP's). One of the nice advantages of this software is that you do not need to have the software to paste the file back together. Everytime you split a file, it automatically creates a tiny executable named paste.exe (only 39k in size!) which will automatically paste the files back together, recreating the original file. It doesn't matter if the file type is an exe file, mp3 file, video file, graphics file, or any other type, it will be automatically recreated just like the original. Just send or copy this executable with your split files, and anyone can recreate the original file by simply running paste.exe

HELP FAQ
Is the original file ever altered or broken apart?
No, the original file is not touched or altered. This software simply reads in the information from the file you want to split, then creates many smaller files depending upon the size you select.
Do I need this software to put the split files back together? If I send the files to someone else, how do they put them back together?
The process is simple. Everytime you split a file, a small executable named paste.exe (only 39k in size) is automatically written in the same folder as your split files. Just send this with your split files, and anyone can recreate the original file by simply running this executable.
Can you step me through the split file process?
Run "File Splitter Deluxe" from your start-programs menu. There are only 2 steps necessary, first, click the button which says "Select A File To Split", and select any file on your disk drive. After you select a file, you will see the name and size appear. Next, select the file size and click "create files" and the split files will be created. The new files names will be the original file name extension followed by a 1, 2, 3, etc... depending upon how many split files need to be created. For example, if the file name you are splitting is VIDEO.AVI, then the split file names will be avi.1, avi.2, avi.3...etc, and all files will be the size you selected (except for the final file which may be less than that). You should not change the names, as the paste.exe program uses this information for recreating the original file.
How do I paste the files back together?
Just run the program named "paste.exe". This is created in the same folder as your split files. You can copy the split files to any folder, and copy "paste.exe" with them. Anyone can run "paste.exe", which will read all your split files and recreate the original file. The created file name will have the same extension as the original file name, and will be named "newfile". For example, if you split a file called Music.mp3 and paste it back together, the file which was recreated will be named "newfile.mp3".
When splitting files, I am receiving an error message which says the files already exist?
This occurs when you split a file with the same extension, in the same folder as a file you split before. The reason this happens is the software is trying to create *.1, *.2 filenames and it cannot because they already exist. This is easy to fix, simply copy your file you wish to split to an empty folder, then attempt to split it again. You can also delete the old *.1, *.2, etc. files and re-run the split which will also solve the problem.
