Summary

File splitters

As well as the UNIX split command there are a number of graphical packages that allow the splitting and joining of large files. GfileSplit comes with the GNOME desktop environment and allows a file of any size to be split into smaller fixed size pieces; for more information see gfilesplit.sourceforge.net. ProSplitter is a fast Windows and Linux compatible tool for splitting and joining files. It has a simple graphical user interface and a number of advanced features such as DES encryption and robustness and reliability data checks. ProSplitter can be downloaded for free from www.prosplitter.co.uk.
