BUTCHER Version 1.2.0
for
OS/2 and Unix
Copyright (c) 1997 by Ali Onur Cinar <cinara@usa.net>
All Rights Reserverd.
ABSTRACT
Butcher is a small utility which will help you to make volumes in size,
you prefer, from large files.
I prepared Butcher only for my own needs and I didn't thought to publish
it at the beginning. But now, I have decided to publish Butcher as a
FREEWARE for the needs of other people, who are interested in computer
work. Because of this reason, Butcher's documentations and user's
interface are not user friendly.
At this time, there are only OS/2 and Unix versions of Butcher available.
From these two versions, only OS/2 version has been tested under IBM OS/2
Warp 3.0 with HPFS (High Performance File System). Unfortunately, I couldn't
have time to test Unix version of Butcher.
OS/2 version compiled with GNU C Compiler 2.1 (80386, BSD syntax)
Unix version compiled with GNU C Compiler 2.7.2.1 (SunOS)
The latest version of Butcher is always available on :
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/diskutil/butcherX.zip
ftp://bbsturk.bbs.tr/butcherX.zip

Total 1801200 bytes in 5 packets.
And when you would like to combine the packet files, you can run
[input_file].cmd (at this example ftpsites.tar.gz.cmd).
BUGS
Butcher adds extra 1 byte to the end of the latest file it creates. There
are no problems with ZIP and the other files I have tested. You can use it
without any fear, but there is NO GARANTY.
