Xanthus International Announces
SplitBuilder/Receiver
- for sending large files with NeXTmail
(Stockholm, October 9, 1992) Xanthus International AB today announced that
it is shipping SplitBuilder/Receiver, a utility program for the NeXT
computer that makes it possible for users to send files of any size with
NeXTmail by dividing them into smaller files.
A problem with NeXTmail is that sometimes you want to send attachments
that are so big that some gateways on the net will refuse to deliver your
letter because of its size.
SplitBuilder/Receiver solves this problem by allowing the sender to divide
big files into smaller pieces, called "splits". Each split can be sent by
NeXTmail. The receiver can then assemble the splits to restore the
original file.
SplitBuilder/Receiver consists of two different applications:
- SplitBuilder divides big files into smaller pieces ("splits") that may
be sent by NeXTmail.
- SplitReceiver puts all the splits together on the receivers machine.
