Split a File

Just select a file to split from the source panel, then pick the size in bytes

you want the file to be split up into.    RZSplit 97 can also ZIP the selected files first and then split them.  Go to Advanced Features.

To select some other size, pick either KB or Meg and type in the another size.  This can be an integer number  from 0 to 999.

For example:  If you want to split a file into 512,000k chunks, select the KB button, and enter the number 500.

All files created will have a ".001" thru ".999" file extension on them, and will  be created in the destination panel.  Once the destination directory has been selected, hit the GO button to Split the file.

If you have Raw Split selected, RZSplit will create a BAT file, so you can join these files on another PC without RZSplit.  Goto Raw Split for more inforation.

Join a File

When you pick the Action Join you will only see files with an extension of   .001 on the source panel.  Pick a file, and select a directory from the destination panel and hit the GO button. RZSplit will read all "split files" and rebuild the original file in that destination directory.   If the original file was Raw Split,   it will ask you for a new filename to be created.

NOTE: It is possible to Join files on another PC without RZSplit installed.    The

original file must be Raw Split.

To Join the file on another PC, run the <filename>.BAT file.  Make sure ALL the split files and the  .BAT file are in the same directory.  (just double click on the .BAT file  from explorer, or a file manager)

Notes

RZSplit 97  is downward compatable with both DOS and 16 bit

versions of RZSPLIT as long as you use normal 8x3 filenames. If

you split files with filenames up to 255 characters you can only join

them back with the 32 bit version.

Pay attention to the Status dialog box in the bottom right corner of

the form.  This tells you what the program is doing.

RZSplit is compatable with the DOS, and the 16-bit version as long as

you use the 8x3 filename convention.  If you split a file with more than

8 chars. you will have to join it with the 32 bit version also.

The ZIP  DLL shipped with RZSplit 97 are freeware from Eric W. Engler.

Advanced Features

When running RZSplit, there is a way to ZIP files first, and then split the ZIP file up.  To do this make sure the Action is on split, and select 2 or more files.  (click and hold down the shift key) Now click on GO. It will ask you for a ZIP filename, RZSplit will ZIP those files and then continue with the split process splitting the new ZIP file to the destination panel.   Note: you cannot ZIP up 1 file.

It is also possible to "right click" on a file from Windows Explorer, and goto

the Send To folder, and pick RZSplit.  This will launch RZSplit and

only show that 1 file you selected in the source panel.

When you are splitting a file to floppy disks, RZSplit will check if  there is enough space on the disk.  If there is not enought space (and you are running Win95) RZSplit will run the Win95 format program, so you can format the floppy, and continue on with the split process.   Select Quick Format, with no other options selected, and hit start.  Once its formatted, hit the close button.

Verify a file

This Action will allow you to Verify that all the "split files" were created correctly.

When you pick the Action Verify you will only see files with an extension of

.001 on the source panel.  Pick a file, and select a directory from the

destination panel and hit the GO button. RZSplit will read all "split files" and

verify the original file.  No new files will be created with this action.

Raw Split

If this is checked from the settings -> split menu, RZSplit will create a DOS batch file, so you can join these files on another PC without RZSplit.

For example, if you split a file called "test.zip", and it will create the split files plus the file test.bat.   Goto Join for help on running the BAT file.
