- PUBLIC DOMAIN PROGRAM RON ROCK 4/29/88
-
- CHOP/APP.COM is an ASCII text file utility (based on CHOP18 )
- which will divide a file of any size into sequential files of a
- given number of lines. A sequence of files with a common
- filename with sequential extents may be concatenated into a
- single file named d:filename. ALL. As each chopped file is
- concatenated it may be erased to increase available disk space.
- An excellent companion for VDE to enable an "oversize" file to
- be chopped into smaller segments (I use 1000 lines each for my
- system and VDE), edited and "put back together" with a minimum
- of effort.
-
- To begin enter: CHOP/APP<CR>
- Choose either "C" to Chop a large file into smaller files ;or
- "A" to append chopped files into a single file.
- (You no longer need to "PIP" files together.)
-
- Of course, any sequence of ASCII text files may be concatenated
- by renaming them with a common <filename> and an ordered
- sequence of extents <.1,.2,..999>.
-
- As with any utility, remember that you may not write an
- identical filename.ext to the same location from which it is
- being read.
-
- The program is written in TURBO PASCAL v.3.0. Note the Turbo
- "CHN" file. If you have a universal Turbo library type file you
- may wish to use the CHOP/APP.CHN file to "chain" to rather than
- the full CHOP/APP.COM file. (START:20E2h/END:A000h)
-
- CHOP/APP.COM is installed for the KayPro II '83 (ADM 3a) terminal,
- however only <CR>'s are utilized for screen display to provide a
- "universal" display.
-
- (See FANFLD13.LBR for installation hints if the screen display of
- CHOP/APP does not appear correct.)
-
- Enjoy ! Ron Rock 4/29/88
