Re: Splitting files with WinRAR[Re[5]: Out of memory trying to attach 9 megabyte ZIP file]

1999-11-07 Thread Soth

 This is interesting. I have WinRAR but I couldn't find the command for
 splitting  file.  How  can  it be done? I would really appreciate your
 explanation  because  I  would  like to split TB on two floppies since
 this version is the first that is bigger then 1.44MB;)

*grin* wasn't going to say anything, but since I do have the answer to
your question, I'll also point out that this isn't the first version to
go over the 1.38MB (1440kb) limit. ;-) I think that 1.35 did it.

To split a file:
Open up WinRar, and select the file you want to split.
Select Commands-Add files to Archive (Alt-A)
There is a drop-down box called "Volume size, in bytes".  Use that to
determine the size of your volumes.  (Ie/ 362400, WinRar will compress
your file and split the archive into 362400 byte chunks.)

Personally, I fully recommend WinAce. ;-)

Take care. :-)

I always make them SFX ie self executable so if the target system
hasnt got the winrar installed it will still expand.


Soth Personally, I fully recommend WinAce. ;-)
I use the RACE decompressor for many multiple  file archives (g)
but as with all these things its often a matter of taste...


Soth Take care. :-)
