File Splitter

The File Splitter application was developed to be a small program that will split a large file into a number of smaller sections. You can either specify the desired size of each partition, or give the name of a disk drive onto which multiple partitions will be copied.

Usage #1: - Splitting files into exact partitions (Can be used to create files that can be more easily downloaded off of internet sites or BBSes, for example)

Type: SPLIT filename size e.g.: SPLIT largefile.zip 1048576 This would create files named largefile.zip.1, largefile.zip.2, and so on. Each partition will be 1048576 bytes large.

Usage #2: - Splitting a file onto multiple diskettes (Can be used to transport a very large file to another computer using diskettes. You only need one spare diskette to be able to do this)

Type: SPLIT filename d: e.g.: SPLIT largefile.zip a:

This would create a file named largefile.zip.1 on the first diskette, then prompt for as many diskettes as needed as it creates consecutively numbered files that take up as much disk space as possible on the target drive.

JOINING THE FILES BACK TOGETHER! This can be accomplished with a very simple command:

COPY /B part.1+part.2+part.3... /B outputfile This will perform a binary append of all parts into the output file.
