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.
   
Hold down ^C to abort. (that's [CTRL] `c'). You must hold ^C down until
   the abort occurs. (It only happens BETWEEN partfile creations.)


DEFAULT partsize = 100k bytes.

MINimum partsize = 10k bytes.

MAXimum partsize = 1 Million bytes. (1000k)

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! :-)
