Splitz,
file split tool...
|
 |
Splitz is a free utility
for splitting large files into several smaller parts to enable them
to be transferred from one computer to another using some form of
removeable media, such as floppy or Iomega Zip disks. It is based
on an original by Gerald Bonne,
but features multithreading to allow you to cancel the split process
at any time and has an enhanced user interface on Windows XP.
Click
the browse button to locate the file you want to split, or
type it's name in the text box.
You then have
the choice of entering the size you need the parts to be and
allow Splitz to
work out how many parts are needed, or you can enter the number
of parts and let Splitz work out the size.
You can also
choose one of the presets for a particular media type. Select
the configuration
tab and you have the opportunity to edit the presets or add
new ones of your own. |

If you expect to
rejoin the split file on a DOS machine which does not support long
filenames, then you can select the option to use DOS filenames.
Click the 'Go' button
to select a destination directory and begin the splitting process.
Once complete, a batch file (file with .bat extension) will be created
which you can run on the target machine to join the parts back together
again.
Configuration
Select the configuration
tab to add or edit presets, or change the flavour (colour scheme).
The
flavour options allow you to change the look of the program.
Vanilla is as you can see here, there's also Strawberry and
Banana to choose from.
If you really
want to, you can add a new flavour yourself by editing the
Splitz.xml file.
For example,
to add a chocolate flavour. Add the following line:
<flavour
name="Chocolate" colour="Chocolate"/>
You will need
to restart the program for the changes to take effect, as
the xml file is only read during startup.

The Add, Edit and
Remove buttons are used in conjunction with the presets. They allow
you to modify the default presets or add new ones of your own. You
could, for example, set up a 650MB preset for your CDRW disks. |
