What is FileSplit?

FileSplit is a utility designed to split large files into smaller files so that they can be moved to floppy disks. It can also be used on the Internet so that people do not need to download the whole file.


System Requirements

FileSplit is a 32-bit utility that requires Windows 95® or Windows NT® 4.0. It will not run under Windows NT® 3.1 or 3.5x due to incompatibilities between versions.

Windows 95® and Windows NT® are trademarks of Microsoft Corp.


Using FileSplit

FileSplit has a simple, easy to use interface. See Figure 1.

Figure 1. Splitting a file

Splitting Files

1.	Select the Split tab.

2.	Fill in the Source File or click Browse below the field.

3.	Fill in the Destination Folder or click Browse below the field.

4.	If the Destination Folder is not on a removable drive, fill in the Split Size field.

5.	Press the Start button to begin.

Note: The split size can only be specified in kilobytes.

The first file generated has the base of the original file and the .CA1 extension. The other generated files will have the extensions .CA2, .CA3, .CA4, etc. A file with the .FSI extension will be generated that contains information about the original file that is used to merge the split files.

Note: You can also split files to a floppy disk if you set the Destination Folder to that drive. The size of each split file will be the same as the remaining space on the disk.

Figure 2. Merging a file

Merging Files

1.	Select the Merge tab.

2.	Fill in the Source field or click Browse below the field.

3.	Fill in the Destination field or click Browse below the field.

4.	Press the Start button to begin.

Once the file with the .FSI extension has been located, the files with the same base name as the .FSI file and the .CA? extension will be merged back into the original file. If the .FSI file is located on a removable disk, such as a floppy disk, you will be asked to insert the first disk in the set.

In case the .FSI file is deleted or missing, you can not use this method, the .CA? files can be merged with the MS-DOS Copy command as shown below.

copy /b foo.ca1+foo.ca2+foo.ca3 foo.exe
