SplitData v0.3ß

INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you ever face the problem to get crunched data from a non-dos-disk? If
yes you probably could have used COMDEC by Turbo/Infect. But is not uptodate
and it lacks in some crunched formats: eg. PP20, which is powerpacker-data.
With PP20 you can NOT determine how long the crunched data really is from
the data itself, which is very important to depack. Then there is
ExtractData, a good program, but the search string is limited to 4
characters and is not case sensitive. So I've created SplitData.
Here comes it up to SplitData: make up a big file of the non-dosk-disk using
a disk/file-monitor like FIMO. and enter in a Shell:
SplitData FILE DEST KWORD
FILE You must enter the name of a bigfile created, for example, with FIMO;
this file can be also a normal file (very useful with demos).
DEST Enter the path where you want the program save every chunk of data.
KWORD Enter the checkmark string (like PP20 for powerpacked files). Note
that this string may be long as you want and it's case sensitive. So
PP20 will be different from Pp20!!
Every chunk of data from the file 'disk1' beginning with PP20 and ending at
the following PP20 will be output to a not determined number of files in the
destination path as "nn.string" (e.g. 01.PP20, 02.PP20 and so on). Of course
there are still some uncertainties about the datasize but it helps, besides
all other crunched data than PP20 are insensible about their filesize for
decrunching purposes...
WARNINGS
~~~~~~~~
- You probably will get a lot of DUMMY files which is no crunched data at
all, it might just start with the checkmark, use your BRAIN!
- No overwrite check on output is done!
- I take no responsability for any damages from this small piece of code.
- I've used for this doc some parts of the documentation of ExtracData,
because I don't know very well english. All respect to the author of
ExtractData (Marley of Infect?). If you find mistakes please correct them
and send me the doc.
