   Thx for the djgpp tip.  The split in there can do the trick.   
   Meanwhile I learned about the UnxUtils set for dos/win. It seems to be a   
   larger set of commands than txt20br3, but the split in UnxUtils seems to be   
   exactly the same.   
      
   Before all this, I discovered Split10:   
      
   Created by Syed Nasir Alsagoff (synasir@tm.net.my) - May 1997   
   Usage: SPLIT [file.ext] [-# of partitions] or [size of partition in bytes]   
   [target]   
      
   You can either choose the number of partitions or the size of partition   
   only but not both.   
   Target is optional. The default will be to the current drive and directory.   
      
   e.g SPLIT file.ext -10 to split file `file.ext' 10 times.   
   e.g SPLIT file.ext 1474560 to split file `file.ext' to partitions of   
   1 megabyte each.   
   e.g SPLIT file.ext -10 a: to split file `file.ext' 10 times. to the a: drive.   
   e.g SPLIT file.ext 1474560 c:\install\ to split file `file.ext' to partitions   
   of 1 megabyte each to `c:\install\'.   
      
   Output:   
   SPLIT file.ext -10 will create file.001, file.002.......file.009, file.010 and   
   file.bat.   
   The `file.bat' is created for the user to rejoin the file.   
      
   Usage: FILE [source] [target] e.g file a:\ c:install\   
   The source and target are optional. If no target is specified, the current   
   drive and directory are used.   
      
   That worked ok for the small files that I wanted to test with, but it has   
   problems with anything greater than 800MB or so.   
      
   I also discovered HJSPLIT.  That operates with a Windows GUI.  Very simple to   
   use, and is capable of operating on very large files.   
      
   But I like the simpler command-line version of split found in djgpp and   
   UnxUtils.
