DESCRIPTION

Have you ever needed to give files to a friend, or take file home from work, only to find they are too large to fit onto a floppy disk?  You could use your favorite zip program which spans disks, but this may not be appropriate.  Perhaps the files are mp3s which are already highly compressed to begin with.  Perhaps you wish to split the files up to email because your ISP does not allow sending large attachments.  Or maybe you are splitting large log files, and you want to make sure each piece can be viewed easily without decompression.

Dariolius is perfect for these situations.  You can choose to split files according to different criteria.  You have full control of how you wish to split your files.  The program doesn't require you to "show it the disc" to prove you need to split the file like many other programs do.  Dariolius can be set up and run unattended, and you can choose to recombine the files using either a DOS batch file or a merger program, depending on your needs.

INSTALLING

If you obtained this program as a zip file, you must place the files KanastaCorpUtils.dll, KanastaCorpUsrCtrls.ocx and KanastaCorpComCtrls.dll in your \windows\system folder.
The files KanastaCorpUsrCtrls.ocx and KanastaCorpComCtrls.dll must be registered using regsvr32.exe.  This can be done manually or using the included script register.js.
If you have trouble doing this, you must use the install version of the programs instead.  We will not entertain support requests in using regsvr32.exe

You should avoid moving the files KanastaCorpUsrCtrls.ocx and KanastaCorpComCtrls.dll.  If you do, you must first unregister it using regsvr32.exe /u, and register it again in the new location.

QUICK START

*** Choosing files to split ***

There are several ways to add files which you wish to split.  You can:

•	choose the menu File->Add files...
•	drag and drop files from explorer into the file list

*** Splitting files ***

Change any settings to your liking in the rest of the window, and press the Recalculate button to preview information in the file list.  To finalise settings, press the Split button.  After the file is split, you will end up with a series of output parts and file for merging them.

Note that while using the Recalculate button is recommended for the purpose of verifying information before a split is performed, you can split files immediately after you have chosen your settings.  Dariolius automatically recalculates file information before each split is performed.

*** Merging files ***

Ensure all split parts and the merger are in the same folder.  For a batch rejoiner, run the batch file.  If you see no error messages displayed, then the file was fully reconstructed successfully.  For a program file merger, run the program.  Press the merge button to join the files.  The program will notify you if the file was fully reconstructed successfully.

UNINSTALLING

•	Open the Control Panel by selecting Settings on the Start menu
•	Double click "Add/Remove Programs"
•	Select Dariolius from the list
•	Press "Add/Remove"
•	Restart computer
