¤ Program SplitAndJoin.exe ¤ for MS-Windows of at least 32 bits
|
For Dialog and Command mode operations, tested to above 20Gb file sizes.
Program is fast and only 57Kb in size.
When disks were small and cable connections non existent, one of the most used sets of programs was a pair to split files, then to rejoin the pieces. The need can still exist, such as for transferring files from huge disks to merely large ones, or for sending files over the internet. This program simplifies the job. Open program, drag file from list onto program. If file name ends in dot plus digits, program looks for similar files with same number of digits, then joins them. If file name does not end with all digits, program will split it into pieces of chosen size. |

Testing on a PC with AMD XP 3000+ CPU, a 21 Gb binary file split into 1024 Mb pieces in 42 minutes, and rejoined in 36 minutes. Joining the same pieces with a *.bat file with lines of form "copy 1Gb.exe /b + 1Gb.exe /b 2Gb.exe /b" took about 5 hours, over 8 times as long. Rejoined *.exe and *.zip files functioned the same as the originals.
Program is now free for any Win32 computer. Program was made in PowerBASICtm for Windows.tm | |
