/********************* Split *****************************************
File splitter - V1.0 Copyright 1987-1988 by Richard Lee Stockton
permission granted for non-profit use and
distribution. However, contributions sent
to the author will be gladly and most
gratefully spent. (address below)
USAGE: Split <path>filename <partsize>
EXAMPLE:
cd ram:
split df1:City.anim - will break City.anim from df1: into 100k files
named 1, 2, etc. on the RAM: disk.
EXAMPLE:
cd vd0:
split War.data 150000 - will break War.data on VD0: into 150k files
named 1, 2, etc. on VD0:.
Split was written to fill a need for a simple file splitter to
break down the size of those very large animation files into files
that your average BBS user can download within his time limit. Feel
free to use it for any other purpose you can imagine. It will work
on ANY type of file.
Destination files are written to the CURRENT directory. They are named
using numerals 1-9 then capital letters A-Z. If split is unable to
find the sourcefilename, it will quit.
Split does not test to see if there is enough room in the current
directory for all the partfiles. That part is up to you.
DEFAULT partsize = 100k bytes.
MINimum partsize = 1k bytes. (why would you want 'em this small?)
MAXimum partsize = 1 Million bytes. (1000k) (...or this big?)
If <partsize> falls out of range, the default partsize (100k) will be
used. Maximum number of parts = 35 (suffix = 1-9 then A-Z).
RE-CONNECT EXAMPLE:
join 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F as Action.anim
REMEMBER!:
The `join' command limits the number of parts to 15. (The 15th part
is F). If you have more than 15 parts, join them in sections and
then join the sections. (Put an `executeme' file in with the pieces,
so nobody gets confused! :-)
