(WB)FileSplitter V 1.2
----------------------
Programming, Conception, Idea: MMR

Only for Kick 2.0 (V37.) or greater
***********************************
>Freeware<
CONTENTS:

1. FileSplitter ---> WB-CLI Version in Deutsch
2. FileSplitter_eng ---> WB-CLI Version in English
3. FileSplitter.info ---> Important for the Configuration
4. FileSplitter_eng.info ---> Important for the Configuration
5. FileSplitter.dok ---> .Dok file in German
6. FileSplitter.doc ---> This file ....
GENERAL:
-------
With the FileSplitter you are able to extract one or more files out of a
[.lha/.lzh] file.
Moreover you are able to select files and directories ( MULTISELECT ),
pack them as an extra file.lha or add them to an file.
Why that ?
Maybe you just want to extract one doc.file or programm.file out of a
packet and the packet is about 600 KBytes. And you haven`t a Turboboard.
It nervs waiting for the packet is extracted. And may you have less memory
for extracting into the RAM:, etc.
Meanwhile I reached the Version 1.2. This version is able to pack file(s)
and directories.
So it is something like an Usersurface for the packer LHA and LZ.
INSTALLATION:
------------
CLI: Just enter FileSplitter and press return.
If you are running from the CLI/Shell, the FileSplitter take
his internal / default settings to run.
These are the dafault settings:

important, for pack just the
selected entries, not the whole

-x = Use Pathnames
a = add / pack

USAGE
-----
ERRORS
**********
If there is something wrong with the settings you made, may you forgot a
letter, the windowsettings are incorrect, wrong path, or something like
this, the FileSplitter will flash the screen.
^^^^^
If you want to set the default settings, just click on CANCEL in any
Requester ( for all settings like, DEST_PATH, PACKPATH, SEARCHPATH)
and the default settings are set ......
These are the same settings, as you would start from the CLI.
****************************************************************************
* *
* ATTENTION *
* The Requester which appear for Filepack ( MULISELECT - REQUESTER ) *
* will slow down a task sometimes. That is not serious, just reading *
* the directory will take a little ( extrem little :-) ) while. *
* *
* THAT IS A BUG IN THE REQTOOL.LIBRARY !!! *
