For example, to split a file GAME.ROM (1024 KB) in two 512 KB files.
The ideal would be that the final files could be concatenated by a copy command.
Something like this:
In MS-DOS:
Copy /B GAME.001+GAME.002 GAME.ROM

Or maybe to split a 512KB archive in two 256KB files.

Interesting and have a nice file size.
Now, Anyone have a similar program for MSX?  |

winzip/winrar can do the same for ya (select "archive" and quota)
If such a proggy don't exist for MSX (which I doubt very much) it's easy to code.. somebody?
<open file>
<read x bytes>
<save part>
<next untill EOF>
but you already knew that . . .

Indeed, nothing quite like a good commandline tool.  |

yes... there is a split tool for MSX too... though it has a fixed length of 128 KB files it splits the file into.
sigh... when are you guys gonna fix URL's to FTP? :/ |

BiFi, rest assured we're trying everything we can to have a perfect, utopian MSX Resource Center. Sometimes, some things just have to wait for a little while. Don't cry in the meantime.
