Bjorn (and the rest of you):
Behold!
Attached find CHOP.EXE and CHOP.DOC
originally from an old ZD PC-MAG utility
diskette.
If the attachment doesn't arrive, try
www.wizard.com/~rhino/chop.exe
and
www.wizard.com/~rhino/chop.doc
(and, yes, I have a bunch of other
"old" utilities of the same era)
Cheers,
Garry

> the utility would read the text file and write to new file from
> beginning of original file to first occurrence of *split marker*,
> write output with basename.001, then continue reading original file
> from where it left of to next *split marker*, write output to new
> file basename.002 and so on. Alternatively, use user defined
> extension and increment the basename instead, like 0000001.xyz.
