Hello all,
I tried using the cygwin-20 split command (under windows 95) to split binary
files into manageable chunks. This is for them to be transmitted down noisy
lines, and be reconstituted (cf. your split version of full.exe).
Unfortunately, it seems to handle only text files.
My question is/are:
1) Could you please indicate to split and later recombine binary file(s)?
2) Do I need to convert the file to a text equivalent before using split?
If so, what software can I use to do this?
Thanks
William.

Use the `cat' command to recombine split files.

Apparently--try uuencoding the file; GNU uuencode is distributed as part of
the GNU `shar utilities' set, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sharutils/ and try compiling.

To split, use the `split -b' command.
Do NOT use `cat' to recombine binary files on a text mounted system.
I have never tried `split' on a text mounted system...
