Ver 1.3
This powerful program allows you to split files in a certain number of
pieces or into a desired size so that you may copy it to floppy disks or
various other purposes. And it's shareware so if you want to go on using it
(for more that a short trial period) you will have to register it. I have not
crippled this software in any way so that you might see its true potential. I
hope that you respect that and register this product.
Registration Cost : $10
What you get: Nothing really except having a clean conscience and knowing that
you are helping put a starving student through college. You
must at least register at this level to use N-Split legally.
To register, print and fill out the order form included ("NSORDER.FRM").
If you don't have a printer, then just write all the information down on a
piece of paper, I'm not that picky.
Documentation:
Syntax: NSPLIT [/Pnnn | /Snnn | /Onnn] [[/F]<filename>] [/J[<filename>]] [/?]
/Pnnn - number of parts to split up file.
/Snnn - maximum size of file.
/Onnn - Floppy Sizes: 1 = 1,457,664 2 = 1,213,952
3 = 730,112 4 = 362,496
/F - name of file to split
/J - join split files (enter /F for name if not XXXXXXX.000)
(Number of parts and maximum size may not be used at the same time.)
And now for a more detailed explanation (examples at end):
- /Pnnn : nnn is replaced by a number and represents how many parts you
want to split the file up into. If you run the program without
a /P, /S, and /O it will automatically split the file up into
two parts.
- /Snnn : nnn is replaced by the number of bytes you want in a file. This
number represents the MAXIMUM number of bytes in each file. It
will make all the files this size except for the last that will be
whatever is left over.
- /Onnn : nnn is the disk option number you choose. This is the most used
function since the main reason someone splits up a file is to put
it on a floppy disk. The sizes available are:
1 = 1,457,664 : High density 3.5" floppy disk
2 = 1,213,952 : High density 5.25" floppy disk
3 = 730,112 : Double density 3.5" floppy disk
4 = 362,496 : Double density 5.25" floppy disk
N-Split -=- (c) 1991 -1-
- /F : The name of the file you want to split up, or if you are joining
files with the /J function, it is the destination filename. You
do not really need the "/F", it is just to clarify things for you,
especially when using a destination name with the join function.
If you do use it, remember that there is no space between the /F
and the filename on the commandline. If you do not supply a
filename, the program will ask you for one.
- /J : The name of the destination name you want for the files names
without the number extensions named with the /F function. You
can use DOS's copy appending function to put the files back
together; N-SPLIT does not put any special information in the
split files. The /J option is much easier though because if you
use the DOS copy you will have to type:
COPY FILE.001+FILE.002+FILE.003+FILE.004 FILE.EXT
instead of:
NSPLIT /JFILE.EXT FILE
- /? : Give a short help screen
Examples:
NSPLIT FILE.EXT
- splits FILE.EXT into two parts
NSPLIT /P5 FILE.EXT
- splits FILE.EXT into five parts
NSPLIT /S100000 /FFILE.EXT
- splits FILE.EXT into pieces not bigger than 100000 bytes. The /F is not
needed, but I put it here to show you how it would work if you used it.
NSPLIT /O2 FILE.EXT
- splits FILE.EXT into files not bigger than a 1.2M 5.25" floppy disk
NSPLIT /O4
- will prompt you for a file name and then split it into pieces that fit
onto a 360k 5.25" floppy disk
NSPLIT
-will prompt you for a file name and then split it into two pieces
NSPLIT /J FILE
- joins FILE.001, FILE.002, FILE.003... into a file called FILE.000
NSPLIT /JFILE.EXT /FFILE
- joins FILE.001, FILE.002, FILE.003... into a file called FILE.EXT.
Again, the "/F" is not needed, it just helps remind you which are the
source files and what the destination filename is.
