- Is there a standard way to split large files (binary or text) into
- bitesize chunks that can be later reassembled automatically a la
- shar/unshar? Currently i am using "split" (uuencoding if binary)
- which is both awkward and VERY manual.
-
- So are there better tools for this? or should i write my own?
