- Mexsplit
- ───────────────
-
- Contained within this archive are the following files:
-
- MEXSPLIT.VM - The Program
- MEXSPLIT.DAT - Small Configuration file
-
- This program will allow your users to split large files (that they
- couldn't download in one session) into smaller pieces that are more
- managable for download. The program uses the settings for each
- security level (maximum daily download) to determine it's split size
- for the program. The program updates the files.bbs file in the
- directory where the split files are placed. It indicates the number
- of pieces, when it was split, and who it was for. It also generates
- a batch file for the user to connect or join the pieces back together
- when they have downloaded all the parts.

- Installation
- ────────────
- First copy the VM file to the directory in which you keep all your compiled
- MEX files (VM Extension - ie. C:\Max\M). Next copy the "Mexsplit.Dat" file
- to your system directory (ie. C:\Max). Edit the Mexsplit.Dat file using and
- enter the following information:
-
- Line 1: The maximum size to split any file in k ie: 750 = 750k
- (reguardless of the access level setting)
- Line 2: The name of the File area to place the files once split.
- Line 3: Log split information toggle (1=yes to log or 0=no don't log)
-
-
- ie: If you use divisions or not, numeric or alpha area names, include the
- true name as you have it configured in your Filearea.ctl file.
-
- Personally I use:
-
- In Menus.ctl - Files Menu:
-
- MEX C:\Max\M\Mexsplit Normal "Split file for DL"
-
- In my Filearea.ctl I have:
-
- Filearea 74
- ACS Normal
- Desc Files Split for Download
- Download C:\Files\Split\
- Upload C:\Files\Uncheck\
- End Filearea
-
- Compile using "SILT" and then edit the Mexsplit.Dat file (using above
- examples) to read:
-
- 750
- 74
- 1
-
- You should now be ready to split those large files on a need to split
- basis. You can also get creative and have the system delete split files
- during your daily maintanance routines.

- Source Code & Support
- ─────────────────────
-
- I choose not to include my source code in distribution archives. While
- these programs are not crippled in any way, I like people to acknowledge
- my work by sending either a small fee for the source or a note to say
- thanks for a great program.
-
- Support and updates are also available for these programs (although I
- can't immagine people needing support for these).
-
- For the source files/updates to be delivered to you directly, a charge
- of $5.00 Canadian for the program, should be sent to the author. This
- is not some get rich quick scheme, but rather offsets the costs of
- distribution, and phone calls to deliver the product to you. If you
- have the source, you can easily change the program to suit your needs,
- be it language, output, colour, or use it to learn more about MEX
- programming.
-
- To Recieve the Updates/Source, send a cheque or money order (please no
- cash), in Canadian funds to:
-
- Greg Foley
- 21 Greenford Drive
- Hamilton, Ontario,
- Canada, L8G-2G4
-
- Please indicate which programs you are registering for:

- Your FidoNet #: _____________________ (if applicable).
-
- Thanks in advance, and I hope you enjoy using the programs that we
- produce here at Basement Programs Ltd.
