JR Split File Pro
Split
gigabyte file to fit on CD.
It allows you to split a large file into CD sized
segments and create a standard .bat file that can be used to
reconstruct a copy of the original file.
You can explicitly define the size of FIRST segment so that you
need less CDs when splitting several GB sized files.
Although it is specially designed for splitting GB files, it
surely supports floppy sized segments.
PLEASE NOTE: The original file is left intact - the
"split" files are created from the original.
How to Split File?
Select the file to
split: First select the file you want to split into
smaller pieces. Click "!" button to open file selection
dialog.
Size of File: File size is automatically retrieved and displayed in this text box.
There is no size limit with JR Split Pro!
Save pieces in folder: By default, the directory
is the program installation dir. You can change this by clicking
on the "!" button. Do not select a CD/floppy drive because
the program won't pause for you to insert next disks. Also make
sure the selected folder has enough free space to store all
pieces. NOTE: DO NOT use FAT 32 file system drive to store pieces of above 4 GB each, FAT 32 doesn't support it. You need to use NTFS file system drive for this purpose.
Size of all pieces: This is where you select the
maximum size of the resulting files. For example, if you have a 1
GB ZIP file that you wish to put on CD - you may wish to select
the "MB" option and enter 700 in text box. This would
split the file into 2 segments (about 700 MB and 300 MB) and also
create the .bat file needed to restore the files to the single
original.
Size of first piece: Here you can explicitly
define the size of first segment so that you need less CDs when
splitting several GB sized files. For example: You have a 1GB file, and
a 2GB file. You split the 1GB file at "700MB" value and
you get 2 segments (700MB and 300MB). You put 700MB segment in first CD, and the
remaining 300MB segment in the second CD. This leaves 400MB of
space on the second CD. Now you can split the next 2 GB file so
that the FIRST segment fits that 400MB or leftover space and you
can burn the 2 pieces 300+400=700 onto a CD simultaneously, and
then continue on to split at the 700MB rate for the remainder of
the file. So enter "700" in "Size of all
pieces" text box and enter "400" in "Size of
first piece" text box to have first segment 400MB and the
remaining at 700MB size.
This is optional setting.
Enter "0" or leave this box blank if you don't need to
explicitly define the size of first segment.
Template for splitting
files: By default, this is the file name for the file
you selected. HOWEVER, since this function uses a DOS based .bat
file to reconstruct the split files - it is imperative that the
Template file name conforms to DOS file name limitations. You
should limit the Template file name to 8 characters with no blank
spaces or special characters.
Generate batch file for merging: By default,
this option is selected because without the .bat file, there is
no way to restore the created segments into a copy of the
original - it is recommended you leave the default.
Split button - After clicking the Split button,
the selected file will be split into the desired directory and
file size using a simple numbering system for new file
extensions. For example, the split of inbox.zip will result in
inbox.1, inbox.2, inbox.3, etc. and, of course, the inbox.bat
file that is used to reconstruct the segments into a copy of the
original. All of the file segments and the .bat file must be in
the same directory in order for the .bat to be run and function
properly.
