Another dumb post from me. To split a large file, to burn on a CD or send by email I have previously used the Java version of 'HjSplit' which has worked well. But sometimes the receiving email filters think the split files are Spam!!
I have just found out that that Linux has a 'split' command tool in the terminal see 'split --help' I've tried it with a large .pdf file with no problems. To use: Type 'split -b (/size/ e.g 4M) />file name<' / Press enter and the file will be split into small (in this case 4M) files, they will be named 'xaa xab xac' etc. To rejoin into the original size file use 'cat' Enter: 'cat xab xac xad >> xaa' The small files will be joined together again to the original large file size, but named as 'xaa' This can then be renamed to the original file name if required. Have fun
