To install this program unzip all files to some directory on hard disk or floppy and run setup which will install program for you. This program is shareware and may be copied freely for evaluation purposes. It can be used for 30 days for evaluation. It must be registered after that time. Unregistered version has limit on file size it can split and number of split runs. Registered users will receive unique access code which unlocks its full capabilities . The access code will work for future versions. When splitting files to floppy disk registered version copies automatically MSDOS program MERGE.EXE to the last disk. MERGE.EXE is freeware it can be distributed freely. If you need pass disks with divided files you can pass program MERGE.EXE with them. SplitWin is a utility for splitting big files into parts and then merging them back in the Windows 3.xx environment. The purpose of this program is to split big files into smaller chunks or merge chunks back to original file. This can be useful, when coping big files to floppy diskettes, or transferring files via e-mail. Each of the chunks has header containing information on name of the original file, the size, the number of parts file was cut into and which part it is. This eliminates errors that occur with the existing programs that divide big files. If the original file name is Eg MYFILE.ABC then the chunks will have names MYFILE.Z00, MYFILE.Z01,..., MYFILE.Z0n What New in this version: Free format support added when copying to floppy disks. Have you had bunch of floppies, which some where 2DD, some 2HD, same had some files you preferred not to remove or their size was less than standard 720k or 1.44M, because they had bad sectors? Good News, Yes with this version this is possible. SplitWin will check the free space on floppy and write as much as is free on floppy disk. Sounds good? Check "Try to fill to maximum when copying to floppy disk" check box in Split Dialog to get that. Usage: Drag the file (you desire to split/merge) from the file manager window and drop it over the SplitWin Icon or client area, or use push buttons, or menu commands. The first time activated SplitWin runs not minimised, but if you prefer it to run minimised you can check "run minimised" and the next time activated, it will run minimised. Splitwin is shareware. This copy can be used only for 30 trial days. If you want use program after that period, you should register. This program is written in C++.

There are also available MSDOS and UNIX and Windows NT/95 command mode versions compatible with SplitWin which can be obtained for extra 5A$ or 4$ (split.com for MSDOS, and C source of splitu and mergeu for UNIX, split32.exe for Windows NT/95, it can be useful to transfer big files between UNIX and MSDOS/WINDOWS on floppy disks).
