- !Splitter Short Manual
- ——————————————————————
-
- About !Splitter
- ———————————————
- !Splitter is a small utility to split giant textfiles into smaller ones.
- These can then be easily read and/or sent to the printer.
-
- !Splitter is FreeWare. For conditions of use, read the copyright notice
- at the end of this manual.
-
- Operation
- —————————
- The program installs itself on the icon bar. Clicking on the icon with
- Select or Adjust will open the main window. Dragging a textfile to the
- iconbar icon will have the same result.
- This window will have a writable entry at the top, some options in the
- middle and a OK and Cancel button at the bottom.
-
- If you dragged a text-file to the iconbar icon, the writable entry
- will contain the full name of the text-file. If you on the other hand
- had clicked on Select or Adjust, you will have to fill in the full name
- of the text-file you want to split.
-
- The options are the following:
-
- Include Pagenr. : This allows each part of the splitted text-file to
- have a pagenumber at the bottom. This pagenumber can
- be specified with the Pagenumber option.
-
- Auto update : This makes sure that the pagenumber is incremented with
- each text-file you split, not overwritting the previous
- parts.
-
- Use Ramdisc : This creates the parts on the Ramdisc, instead of in the
- directory of the file to split. This minimizes disc overhead
- and thus allows for faster splitting. Please note that if
- a Ramdisc does not exist, !Splitter will create one itself.
- If it already exists, !Splitter will create an error telling
- you that it could not resize the Ramdisc. If you are sure
- that the Ramdisc is big enough to contain the text-files
- choose OK, otherwise choose Cancel. !Splitter will continue
- splitting in the former case and abandon splitting in the
- latter.
-
- Nr. of lines : This allows you to specify how many textlines each part
- should contain. Use the arrows to increment and decrement
- the given value or click on the writable icon to set it
- yourself. Please note that the Include Pagenr. options
- adds 2 lines to this value while splitting. This is to
- include a empty line and a line containing the pagenumber.
-
- Pagenumber : This allows you to set the pagenumber used in the filename
- of each part and, if the Include Pagenr. option is on, the
- number which is included at the bottom of each part.
-
- The OK-button will start splitting, indicated by the 'pressed in'-state of the
- icon on the iconbar. During splitting, the scissor will 'cut' to indicate that
- splitting is in progress. Once splitting is done, the icon will return to the
- normal state.
-
- The Cancel-button closes the window.
-
- Menu
- ————
- Clicking with Menu on the icon on the iconbar will bring up the menu. It includes
- the usual Info entry, a Cancel option and a Quit option.
- The Cancel is normally greyed out because there is no splitting to be canceled.
- During splitting this option will be selectable and will cancel the splitting.
- The Quit option is normaled selectable and will quit the application. During
- splitting this option will be greyed out. You will have to choose Cancel first
- before you can quit the application.
