This program is shareware and may be copied freely for evaluation purposes.
It can be used for 30 days for evaluation. It must be registered after that
time.
Unregistered version has limit on file size it can split and number of split
runs. Registered users will receive unique access code which unlocks
its full capabilities . The access code will work for future versions.

distributed freely.
If you need pass disks with divided files you can pass program MERGE.EXE
with them.
SplitWin is a utility for splitting big files into parts and then
merging them back in the Windows 95 environment.
The purpose of this program is to split big files into smaller chunks
or merge chunks back to original file. This can be useful, when coping
big files to floppy diskettes, or transferring files via e-mail.
Each of the chunks has header containing information on name of the
original file, the size, the number of parts file was cut into and which
part it is. This eliminates errors that occur with the existing programs
that divide big files.
If the original file name is Eg MYFILE.ABC then the chunks will have names
MYFILE.Z00, MYFILE.Z01,..., MYFILE.Z0n
What New in this version:
Free format support added when copying to floppy disks. Have you had bunch
of floppies, which some where 2DD, some 2HD, same had some files you preferred
not to remove or their size was less than standard 720k or 1.44M, because
they had bad sectors?
Good News, Yes with this version this is possible. SplitWin will check the
free space on floppy and write as much as is free on floppy disk.
Sounds good? Check "Try to fill to maximum when copying to floppy disk"
check box in Split Dialog to get that.
Usage:
Drag the file (you desire to split/merge) from the windows explorer or
file manager window and drop it over the SplitWin Icon or client area,
or use push buttons, or menu commands.
The first time activated SplitWin runs not minimised, but if you prefer
it to run minimised you can check "run minimised" and the next time activated,
it will run minimised.
Splitwin is shareware. This copy can be used only for 30 trial days.
If you want use program after that period, you should register.
This program is written in C++.
