- ------------------------------ Introduction -------------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This little utility was born in the need to transfer files via disk from a
- UNIX to a Amiga-System. The problem is, that you'll have to use
- MS-DOS-formatted disks for this job. This means also that you are limited
- in space (1.44 MB) and filename length (8.3 characters only). What
- SplitIt! does for you is to split large files into chunks of a requested
- size with MS-DOS-compatible names and also creates a batch-file to rejoin
- the files on Amigas later.
-
- ---------------------------------- Usage ----------------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- First create the UNIX-executeable with
-
- >gcc SplitIt!.c
-
- and a.out rename it to SplitIt! (or any other name you'd like)
-
- Synopsis : SplitIt! FILENAME DISKSIZE [OUTPUTNAME]
-
- FILENAME is the name of the file you want to be splitted. You can also
- specify a path here, but read Namecreation (next paragraph) before.
- DISKSIZE is the size of the chunks that will be created and outputname (if
- specified) will be 8-char part of the chunks' filename.
-
-
- ---------------------------- Filename creation ----------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Unless otherwise specified, SplitIt! will take the first 8 characters of
- the FILENAME-argument to create the 8-character-part of the chunks'
- filename. The 3-char expansion is used for the numeration of the splitted
- files. Be careful when using paths with FILENAME ! You'll have to specify
- a new chunkfilename via the OUTPUTNAME-option, because the names of the
- created files may not contain characters like ~,:,/,..,etc..
