It lets you split a file into pieces and combine pieces back into 1. It was rated a top 10 shareware program in a Japanese OS/2 magazine. This program was originally written for OS/2. I brought it with me to Linux a little while ago but have not had time to continue with it yet. I thought I would put it out there for people to look at and see what they think. A few options do not work yet as I did not figure out how to do them in Linux yet, like -p for prompt (it does not wait for an answer to the question if I remember correctly). Let me know what you think. Let me know how you find it useful, i.e. what you use it for.

You could write 4 or 5 lines in a backup-script to 1) tar your hdd 2) gzip or bzip2 it 3) split it 4) burn it on CD's Hope this helps. Ciao, Dirk
