Mast is a file merging and splitting tool. Simply put, it breaks files down into several smaller files, which can be rebuilt again later.
This often comes in handy when making backups. For example, if you need to fit a large file onto a single CD, or you're simply uploading your backups to somewhere on the web in easily retrievable chunks.
Split files can be easily combined. Apart from splitting the file, the original data is not modified. Consequently, no special tools are needed to re-merge the files afterwards (although for convenience, this tool will merge files too). When you come to re-merge the files, you can either use Mast, or, under windows use the command line.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· An early release of MAST. Basic testing has been performed taking an MD5Sum of a file, splitting it using MAST, then re-merging it using MAST, then checking the MD5Sum. MD5Sums matched, therefore the original, unsplit file is the same as the re-merged file (i.e. no data corruption on this test run)
· This is still an early release, so caution is advised. I would be very grateful for any bugs to be reported to the Issues manager at https://code.google.com/p/mast/issues/list
