What Is FileSplitter

IAV FileSplitter (later – FileSplitter) is the program for splitting large files to number of small-sized parts, and combining back all that you have split. Big files can be split to diskettes or hard drive. FileSplitter provides some features that make this program extremely useful. The possible usage scenarios are:

•	During work or study hours (or in other time) you can download programs, games, information (in general – files) using high speed Internet connection. Then, split all these files to disks and combine them at home.

•	For storage or backup purposes you can save large files (i.e. databases, distributive packages) on other media.

•	If you want to e-mail big file to someone, but your or your addressee’s Internet Service Provider (ISP) rejects messages larger that some limit size (really, doesn’t matter what is the limit). Split this file using FileSplitter to any size pieces and mail these parts to recipient. In addition, he (or she) may not have FileSplitter installed. The program has self-extractor (SFX) feature (only 32 kilobytes overhead); also the program can generate binary files without any additional headers, but with batch (bat) file to restore the original file. That’s not all…

•	If you want to e-mail big file to someone, and his (her) ISP not only rejects large messages, but also rejects attachments. FileSplitter has build-in UUENCODE feature, so you can encode binary files and insert these encoded chunks directly in the body of your message. There are two modes of uuencode implemented in this program.

•	If you hold a BBS, FTP or other online communication service, you can use FileSplitter to divide large files to smaller parts to allow users with unstable Internet connection to retransmit not all huge package, but a small chunk of it.

FileSplitter is inexpensive SHAREWARE. (only 15$). Currently it is Windows application (Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0).

Minimum system requirements

•	Any machine capable to run Windows 95 and higher;

•	Microsoft Windows 95 or higher;

•	About 480kb of free disk space - occupied by the program.

Key features

1)	FileSplitter uses only free disk space. However, user can set the "safety gap" - disk space that is not used in any cases;

2)	You can handle multiple files.  Multiple files can be split to one set of volumes, to separate files, to binary chunks and SFX volumes. You can specify several files for batch recombine;

3)	As stated above, the self-extracting (SFX) files can be produced;

4)	Can produce binary chunks of original file for later recombining on non-Windows machines (DOS, Unix or Mac). While in DOS, you should use the generated batch (with .bat extension) file. In Unix, you should use the ‘cat’ command;

5)	Build-in UUENCODE feature helps in using of e-mail accounts with message-size limits and/or attachment rejection;

6)	Can split/combine files to/from floppy disks and to/from hard disks;

Also, FileSplitter provides you the unique feature that need to be especially emphasized. It is SmartCombine technology. What you can do with SmartCombine?

•	First of all, you can combine (restore, unite, merge and whatever you want) volumes in arbitrary order. For example, you have set of disks with volumes, but these disks are all unlabeled. Just take any diskette and go…

•	Secondly, it can solve the bad cluster problem by generating special recovery record when the diskette error is found. Typical situation - you’ve downloaded a big game demo during your work/study hours and want to bring this demo to home. You’ve split the file using FileSplitter (to, say, 25 diskettes), then went home and (horror!) - the disks 3,7,and 19 were corrupted… FileSplitter will detect these errors (the program has several detection routines) and generate the special header file. It will allow you to retrieve only corrupted data (usually, several kilobytes) from the original file and bring them again, but on one or two disks (not 25);

•	Third, post processing can be performed. Very useful if you don't have enough disks to transfer all volumes to destination PC (also see Tips'n'Tricks).

How To Install/Uninstall FileSplitter

To minimize archive size FileSplitter comes without comprehensive install program. On the contrary, it performs all necessary operations by self. The only thing you'll need is to place FileSplitter to any folder and run the 'fs.exe' executable file. For uninstallation, use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

This self-installation creates shortcut in SendTo folder. Of course, you may create any additional shortcuts, if desired.

If any problem appears, you can try to solve it by sending the request to author, even if you are not a registered user. Of course, any comments or suggestions about FileSplitter would be greatly appreciated.


Main Program Window

Source file(s):

The list of files to process (split or combine operations). For combine, you should specify only one volume per set (collection of volumes produced by one split operation). Other names will be ignored. Also, FileSplitter ignores duplicate filenames and mixed file operations (if the first file was detected as split volume, you can't add ordinary file to split advice versa).

Destination:

All volumes or originals will reside in this directory. If this field is empty and default directory for current estimated operation is specified, FileSplitter will use this default value. If no default directory specified, you should type the name or browse dialog.

Split button/menu item:

By pressing/selecting this button/menu you start split process. Confirm split parameters in confirm dialog and go !…

Combine button/menu item:

By pressing/selecting this button/menu you start combining files. You should specify only one volume per set (collection of volumes produced by one split operation). Other names will be ignored.

Help button:

Obvious…

Statistics:

Some statistic information about files in Source files box. Includes: file name, file size, how much disks this file will reside, the size of all files in box, how much disks all files will reside…

  Detailed description of all features


Confirm split parameters

Split set name:

Any name that identifies current split set (files in Source files box) for you.

Solid split:

All files in Source files box group together and split as one file (set name+extension). You can't access individual files within volumes (in this version). However, all files will be restored normally on combine. Useful if you simply want to transfer a group of files to other machine.

Separate split:

All files in Source files box regard as single items. Each single item forms a number of volumes (with the same name, but another extension). Additionally, an external header file (scenario) which holds the list of files in set will be formed on the last disk. Useful for internal storage or backup purposes.

Binary split:

Split without additional headers (with batch file that combines files from hard disk and floppy disks). Useful for combining files on non-Windows machines: DOS (use batch file), or Unix (use 'cat' command).

Self-extractor:

Quite small (32 kilobytes) program that, being added to the head of the first volume, allows to combine files without FileSplitter installed. This SFX stub partially supports SmartCombine (combining in arbitrary order). Currently where is only Win32 (95/98/NT) stub file available.

Maximum Volume Size:

This option manages the volume creation procedure. Volumes created by FileSplitter will not be larger than this value. You may select one of the predefined sizes or enter a new one. There are some modifiers (kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes) for this field for obvious look: in this field you can write something like this: 1 mb, 1.44 megabytes, 0.5 mbytes, 1GB… and so on… I think, it is clear… Note, that all predefined values are adjusted to fit the diskettes formatted for this formats, but the custom value cannot be adjusted and 1.44 megabyte value in custom field isnot the same that 1.44 MB in predefined (the predefined is actually 1.38 useful megabytes).

Need to say, that virtually (theoretically) FileSplitter can manage volumes up to 16 ecsabytes (EB) in size. 1 ecsabyte=260 bytes=1073741824 gigabytes.

Move Files:

If this option is 'on' FileSplitter removes source files after split process. If 'Delete to Recycle Bin' is not checked in program options– removal is irreversible.

Format disks:

If this option is on, FileSplitter will raise standard format dialog before each new diskette. Of course, this applicable only to split processes.

Flush buffers:

Force FileSplitter to flush Windows cache after each write operation.

Verify disk writes:

If this option is on, the program checks all write operation on floppies. This is useful is you aren’t sure that ‘this disk’ is good. 'Verify disk writes' requires 'Flush buffers' option to be checked.

UUEncode:

FileSplitter can encode binary files to text files using original 'uuencode' algorithm. This feature helps in using of e-mail accounts with message-size limits and/or attachment rejection. There are two modes available: first, when FileSplitter takes original file and encodes it to several uuencoded files (sections) that will not exceed the specified size (you don’t need to set the “line count” option, just specify the size of volumes). The opposite side can restore original file either using original uudecode program (that is widely known and freely downloadable), or by mailer software. The second mode of uuencode iswhen FileSplitter takes original file, split this file to chunks with specified size and then encode each volume to separate file.

Disk Options

Gap Size, Enable Gap preserving:

This feature allows you to left some free space (gap) when splitting directly to diskettes. There are some modifiers for this field for obvious look: in this field you can write something like this: 20 kilobytes, 35 KB, 18K, 1 megabyte, 0.5 mbytes… and so on… This value can't be greater than 2 gigabytes.

Blocks:

Here you can select one of predefined values or enter a new one. It shows how much bytes of data FileSplitter will transfer at one time. This value cannot be greater than 'Maximum Volume Size'. All predefined values are in kilobytes, in custom value is in bytes by default. Also, this value can't be greater than 2 gigabytes. There are some modifiers for this field for obvious look: in this field you can write something like this: 20 kilobytes, 35 KB, 18K, 1 megabyte, 0.5 mbytes… and so on… I think, it is clear…

Flush buffers:

Force FileSplitter to flush Windows cache after each write operation.

Verify disk writes:

If this option is on, the program checks all write operation on floppies. This is useful is you aren’t sure that ‘this disk’ is good. 'Verify disk writes' requires 'Flush buffers' option to be checked.

Operation speed:

The speed (system priority) of operation.

Maximum Volume Size:

This option manages the volume creation procedure. Volumes created by FileSplitter will not be larger than this value. You may select one of the predefined sizes or enter a new one. There are some modifiers (kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes) for this field for obvious look: in this field you can write something like this: 1 mb, 1.44 megabytes, 0.5 mbytes, 1GB… and so on… I think, it is clear… Note, that all predefined values are adjusted to fit the diskettes formatted for this formats, but the custom value cannot be adjusted and 1.44 megabyte value in custom field is not the same that 1.44 MB in predefined (the predefined is actually 1.38 useful megabytes).

Need to say, that virtually (theoretically) FileSplitter can manage volumes up to 16 ecsabytes (EB) in size. 1 ecsabyte=260 bytes=1073741824 gigabytes.

Format disks:

If this option is on, FileSplitter will raise standard format dialog before each new diskette. Of course, this applicable only to split processes.

System Options

Save Settings on Exit:

If this option is on, program will save all options on exit (main window position will not be saved). To save all settings, including window position, it's necessary to force it by selecting the Save All menu item.

Save window position:

If this switch is 'off' main window always appears in the center of screen (saved coordinates are ignored), if 'on' - saved coordinates are used for main window placement.

Use Sounds:

Allows playing sounds defined in the sound section below.

Save window position:

If this switch is off, main window always appears in the center of screen (saved coordinates are ignored), if this switch is on - saved coordinates are used for main window placement.

Sound at prompt:

By playing this sound (WAV file) FileSplitter informs you about disk change. Use right aligned buttons to select or test waveform file.

Sound at finish:

By playing this sound (WAV file) FileSplitter informs you about completing of specified process. Use right aligned buttons to select or test waveform file.

Split/Combine Options

Move Files:

If this option is 'on' FileSplitter removes source files after split process. If 'Delete to Recycle Bin' is not checked – removal is irreversible.

Delete to "Recycle Bin":

Allows removing original files to system recycle bin.

Launch after recombine:

If this option is 'on' FileSplitter will run the combined file. Typically, users split executables, archives, SFX archives and other files that can be run or processed with associated program.

Default split folder:

FileSplitter uses this entry when you select Split button in main window without specifying the destination folder.

Default combine folder:

FileSplitter uses this entry when you select Combine button in main window without specifying the destination folder.

UUEncode:

FileSplitter can encode binary files to text files using original 'uuencode' algorithm. This feature helps in using of e-mail accounts with message-size limits and/or attachment rejection. There are two modes available: first, when FileSplitter takes original file and encodes it to several uuencoded files (sections) that will not exceed the specified size (you don’t need to set the “line count” option, just specify the size of volumes). The opposite side can restore original file either using original uudecode program (that is widely known and freely downloadable), or by mailer software. The second mode of uuencode is when FileSplitter takes original file, split this file to chunks with specified size and then encode each volume to separate file.

Description

- FileSplitter uses only free disk space. Practically all split programs realizes this opportunity - itis a difference between split and backup programs.

 - Can split files to floppy disk and to hard disk. You can freely split files to floppies or simply divide large files into multiple volumes and store them on your hard disk.

 - Can combine files from floppies and from hard disk. In addition to previous option, FileSplitter can combine from floppy disk and from hard disk too.

 - On-the-fly destination changing (for split). The target directory for split process can be dynamically changed.

 - On-the-fly source folder changing (for combine). It is similar to the destination changing. Note, that you should do it just before processing of this new volume, for example while swapping floppies. If the program cannot find next volume while combining from hard disk to hard disk, you will be prompted for new file location.

 - Variable volume size. The size of FileSplitter volumes cannot be more than maximal. Other splitters use all available disk space, but volume creation in FileSplitter is more flexible. You can specify one of the predefined sizes, or your custom value.

To create volumes like other splitters do and use all free space of any floppy disk you should disable the gap-area (see below) and set up the maximal volume size greater than diskette size.

 - User can set the "safety gap" - disk space, which is not used in any case. If gap space is 1024 bytes, is guaranteed, that all disks will have at least 1024 bytes free. It is useful for saving accompanying files, or for ScanDisk recovery.

What is FileSplitter


Tips'n'Tricks

Different Ways To Start FileSplitter

Try all this tips only after installation.

1)	By clicking on FileSplitter's executable in Explorer, or other shell program;

2)	By typing 'fs' or 'FileSplitter' in Start/Run edit line;

3)	By selecting the group of files in Explorer and then 'SendTo' them to FileSplitter 2.0.

4)	By specifying desired files (wildcards and multiple entries allowed) as command line parameters (i.e. in Start/Run edit line).

Files also can be added to source files list by dropping them from Explorer to FileSplitter's main window.

Using FileSplitter

1)	Use button in 'Processing' dialog box to change options. The changes will take effect from next volume;

2)	You may freely change location of files during process. This enables creating some volumes on floppies, some volumes on hard disk, even in different directories. Very useful, if you don't have enough diskettes, or have disks of different media type (for example, 1 ZIP disk and 4 3.5" disks);

3)	Use literal modifiers everywhere you need to set the file size, gap size, or block size. These modifiers should be added at the end of number. For example, you need to split files on volumes that are exactly 1 megabyte in size. In this case, you should write the following in Custom volume size field: 1 megabyte. However, since FileSplitter checks only first literal symbol, you can also specify (1 MB, 1 mbytes, 1M and so on). Available (currently recognized) modifiers are: kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes. Use your national language decimal separator to specify fractional values, such as 1.1 megabyte (for US/UK decimal separator).

Tips On Using SmartCombine

1)	As program description says, combine process can be performed in arbitrary order;

2)	With SmartCombine the 'post processing' can be done. Imagine the situation when you don't have enough disks to transfer all volumes. You may split files first to disks, then, using tip from previous chapter, bychanging location of volumes do other files to hard disk. Then, combine volumes stored on floppies on destination machine and terminate processing when FileSplitter prompts you for additional volumes. Just come back and transfer another group of volumes.Combine them to the same directory as before. Do it until all volumes are done. At the end, you'll get the original file(s).

FileSplitter is a very complex program inside, so if you expirience any new tricks on it usage, inform me too. It is very interesting to me.


Registering FileSplitter…

Why should you register ?

FileSplitter is inexpensive SHAREWARE. This means that if you continue to use this program for more than 30 days, you are required to register it. There are a few reasons to register this software:

1)	All future versions will be free for you;

2)	You will receive all available updates first;

3)	By registering you will support SHAREWARE concept and allow author to develop and improve FileSplitter, and to develop more quality shareware programs.

What to do if you don't want to register

In this case you have to delete FileSplitter (including all files belonging to it after the trial period (30 days max.) and discontinue using it. If a newer version of FileSplitter is released which may fulfil your needs, you can test it again, of course. But, again, without your registrations I will not able (will not be motivated) to work and improve FileSplitter.

What to do if you want to register

Registration of FileSplitter is based on the personal usage term (one user license).

About Shareware...

Shareware (also known as user supported software and other names) is a concept not understood by everyone.  The authors of Shareware retain all rights to the software under the copyright laws while still allowing free distribution.  This gives the user the chance to freely obtain and try out software to see if it fits his needs.  Sharewareshould not be confused with Public Domain software even though they are often obtained from the same sources.

If you continue to use Shareware after trying it out, you are expected to register your use with the author and pay a registration fee. What you get in return depends on the author, but may include free updates, telephone support, etc. Only by paying for the Shareware you use do you enable the Shareware author to continue to support his software and create new programs. Considering that the Shareware registration fees are almost always far less than the purchase prices of comparable commercial software it's obvious that Shareware is a good deal for everyone.

There are real advantages to you in the Shareware system. You get to try out software to makesure it is compatible with your hardware and that it fits your needs before you "buy" it with your registration. The author saves the expense of advertising, packaging and distribution and passes the savings onto you. Plus, most Shareware authors are much more accessible than commercial software sources so that your questions and suggestions are much more likely to be responded to.

New features:

-	Completely rewritten,

-	SmartCombine,

-	New formats, support for older format was removed due to SmartCombine;

-	Support for huge files,

-	New shell operations and more…

FileSplitter 1.2 (Windows 3.1x)

FileSplitter 1.1 revision A (Windows 3.1x) - Only bug fixes.

FileSplitter 1.1 - 25th of November, 1996 , FIRST PUBLIC RELEASE for Windows 3.1x


Gap size – diskette space that won't be used in any case. Helpful for leaving some space for accompanying files or for ScanDisk recovery.


Enables/disables gap size preserving.


FileSplitter transfers data in blocks of specified size. Select from predefined sizes or use custom settings. Value of Block size is limited by available system memory.


Custom block size value, enabled only if 'Custom size' selected in Block sizes. Also see help topic for this window (Help button).


Flush disk cache on each write operation.


Verify floppy disk writes, requires Flush disk buffers to be checked. Helpful when you aren't sure about disk surface quality.


System priority for split and combine operations. Affects the speed of processing.


Maximum volume size for split operations. All volumes will not exceed this value. However, they may be smaller if no space available (i.e. on floppy). Select one of predefined values or use custom settings. If you know any media type that is unlisted here– e-mail me, just include the total amount of bytes on free disk.


Custom volume size, enabled only if 'Custom size' selected in Maximum volume size. Also see help topic for this window (Help button).


Format each floppy disk before split operation.


Save/restore main window position. If not checked– main window will be centered.


If on, forces FileSplitter to save program settings on exit. Otherwise, you should save options by selecting the appropriate menu item.


Use sound notification for different operations. If no sound files specified, or your don't have a soundcard– the beep sound will be produced.


This WAV file is played when FileSplitter prompts you for disk replacement.


This WAV file is played when FileSplitter finishes operation.


Use this button to select WAV file.


Use this button to test WAV file. Requires Use sounds checked.


Delete original files after split operation. Delete modes – complete and reversible (to system Recycle Bin).


If on, FileSplitter will move files to Recycle Bin, otherwise files can't be restored (with ease :).


Launch combined files (using current system associations) when combine operation ends.


Default destination for split volumes.


Default destination for recombined files (restored originals).


Use this button to select destination directory.


If on, use one of two available uuencode modes.


FileSplitter encodes one file to linked uuencoded volumes that can be processed without FileSplitter by original uudecode program. It may be obtained from major Internet sites or somehow else.


FileSplitter split a number of files to split volumes and then encodes each volume separately. Receiving side will require both uudecode and FileSplitter program (you may use self-extractor feature).


Set name – any name that identifies current split set (files in Source files box).


Solid split – all files in Source files box group together and split as one file (set name+extension). You will not able to access individual files within volumes (in this version). However, all files will be restored normally on combine. Useful if you simply want to transfer a group of files to other machine.


Separate split – all files in Source files box regard as single items. Each single item forms a number of volumes (with the same name, but another extension). Additionally, an external header file (scenario) which holds the list of files in set will be formed on the last disk. Useful for internal storage or backup purposes.


Binary split – split without additional headers (with batch file that combine files from hard disk and floppy disks). Useful for combining on non-Windows machines: DOS (use batch file), or Unix (use 'cat' command), or Mac.


Self-extractor – quite small (32 kilobytes) program that, being added to the head of the first volume, allows to combine files without FileSplitter installed. The SFX stub partially supports SmartCombine (combining in arbitrary order). Currently where is only Win32 (95/98/NT) stub file available.


List of items in split set. Selectone or more items to add to Source files box.


Some statistics about current selection(s).


Select all items.


Removes selection.
