- Segment was developed to split large files into smaller ones for easy
- transport on to floppy diskettes, and for ease of breaking up large files on
- BBS systems for sysops (so that users can still download huge files, over
- several phone calls).
-
- It will both segment and join files, based upon the designated size you
- specify (in Kilobytes). It will split files upto 4 terrabytes in
- size (theorectically since I used unsigned long integers), without a problem.
-
- To use segment:
-
- To segment a large file:
-
- segment S (size) filename1.ext filename2.ext ... filenameN.ext
-
- EG:
-
- segment S 100 file1.zip file2.zip file3.zip
-
- This example will segment the files named "file1.zip",
- "file2.zip" and "file3.zip" into chunks on 100K.
- The filenames created will be "file1.0"..."file1.N", where
- N is the last segment.
-
- The segmented copies added together will be the file size,
- with 3 additional bytes added to store the file's original
- extension.
-
- Yes ! you can tell it to split multiple files at the same
- time ! This is handy for breaking up files in an upload
- directory.
-
- To Join segmented files:
-
- segment J [NOREMOVE] file1 file2 ... fileN
-
- EG:
-
- segment J file1.zip file2.zip file3.zip
-
- This example will put the files back together into their
- original format under the names "file1.zip", "file2.zip",
- and "file3.zip".
-
- Yes ! you can tell it to join multiple files at the same
- time ! This is handy for joining lots of files in a
- download directory.
-
- if NOREMOVE is specified, segment will NOT remove the
- original segmented files after the join.
-
- EG:
-
- segment J NOREMOVE file1.zip file2.zip file3.zip
-
- NOREMOVE will tell segment not to delete the segmented
- files. (file.0, file.1, file.2, etc.)

- Upon recept, I will send you a registered copy, on either a 3.5" or a
- 5.25" low density diskette. Please specify which you one you want.
- Curious how it works ? enclose a check for $50.00 and I will include
