As you can guess, you can
use this program for splitting a large file into smaller parts according
your choice, so as to conveniently transfer it using floppy disks
or through email. You can specify the size of each partition to
be created or the no. of partitions to be created.
You don't need this program
to merge the partitions created by it. A DOS batch file as well
as a UNIX shell script file are created while partitioning whose
execution will automatically merge the partitions. So you can pass
the partitions to your friends who don't have this program (and
for that matter, not even Java) installed on their machine.
However, an option to merge
the partitions using FileSplit itself is also provided. And its use
is advised as it makes checks regarding size and checksums of the
partition files being transferred. So if any partition is missing
or is corrupted, then the method will notify you.
The directions for using the
program are given the help of program & also in a readme file
included in the zip file. If you still have problems, you can mail
me.

of executable jar file as well as windows executable file. You need
to have Java Runtime Environment installed on your machine. If you
don't have it, you can install it from java.sun.com.

with all major steps explained. It's worth taking a look at the
source code.
