                 To split files click on the "Split" button that appears on the screen when you  start the application. You will see the fallowing two options on the screen

             1) Split into a fixed no of files :-      

                      This feature allows you to split your files into ' n ' number of files where n is the number specified by you through the input box that appears on the screen after you select this option. 

For eg. if you have selected a file of size 1000KB to be split into 10 files than 10 files each of 100KB will be created.

             2) Split into a fixed size files :-      

                      This feature allows you to split your file into files each of size ' x ' KB where x is the size in KB as specified by you through the input box that appears on the screen after you select this option. (Note :- last file may be less than x KB);

For eg. if you have selected a file of size 1000KB to be split into 90KB files than 11 files each of 90KB and one of 10KB will be created.

 

                     The files created after splitting are placed in the directory filename_SplitIt by default. The details of all the splitted files are placed in the descriptor  files called filename_SplitIt.dsc. All the other files  such as filename_1.spt,filename_2.spt ... etc are also placed in the directory filename_SplitIt. All these files including the descriptor  is required to merge all these files.    

 

                To merge files click on the "Merge" button that appears on the screen when you  start the application. You will have to the select the descriptor of the splitted files through the file dialog the appears after you click Merge.The application expects all the required files (see below) to be in the same directory as the descriptor.           

            File required for merging:-

                         1)The descriptor of the splitted file (.dsc)    

                         2)The splitted files i.e filename_1.spt,filename_2.spt....etc

               All the required files should be placed in the same directory as the descriptor,otherwise merging will be aborted.
