FCHOP2.EXE (FCHOP/FBUILD Version 2.0), Jan 1993

Description
-----------
FCHOP2.exe accomplishes the same functions performed by the two files
FCHOP.EXE and FBUILD.EXE.
FCHOP2 will either break up a large file into smaller files, or recombine
the chopped files into the original file.
The re-combined files will match the original file, provided that the
chopped files are not tampered with.
Why would you want to chop up files ?
Suppose someone wants to give you a .ZIP file whose size is about 2.1 mB
(2.1 megabytes) and your PC does not have floppy drives which can read it.
The file could be broken into smaller files, each of size 360K. Now even
an XT can read these component files onto a hard disk, and recombine the
component files into the original 2.1 mB file.
Usage
-----
Just type, at the DOS prompt :
FCHOP2
You will see a listing of files in your current directory.
If you want to chop up a big file, you supply its name and the size of the
chopped files. After the chopped files are created, it is assumed that you
will store them on diskettes which can store the chopped files.
If you want to re-combine chopped files, you should first copy all the
chopped files into your current directory before running FCHOP2. A file with
extension .000 contains the name of all the component files, and uses this
file for accurately re-creating the original file.
A file test.dat has been provided for you to test.
Use FCHOP2 to break up test.dat into say, 180 block (180,000 byte) files, and
then re-combine them into the original file.
This is freeware.
