It reads a binary file -and splits it into pieces. I use this program to put large binary files on -floppy disks. For this reason, the default size of the output files is -1,457,000 bytes, which just about fills up a 1.44 MB floppy disk. -.PP -Unlike other binary split programs I have seen, dsplit does not malloc a -huge block of memory. Dsplit is suitable for use under MSDOS and other -primitive operating systems. -.PP -(The program came from -gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume40/dsplit). |
