Whats new
~~~~~~~~~
-MAJOR bug in the first release,it wrote extra data to the file and that is why the 
RM files didnt play right. If i split a picture file i would see that it wasnt right.
it works now, the file sizes are the same and if any problems lemme know.

how to use
~~~~~~~~~~
Splitting
-copy the EXE into the folder with the file you want to split
-run the EXE
-select split
-tell it what file you want split
-select the size of the files you want made(the split files)
-let it do its job.(its a bit slow)*

Joining
-copy the EXE into the folder with the file you want to split
-run the EXE
-select join
-type in the name of the ini file for the splits**
-let it do its job(again, its slow)*

* it took my PII333 about 53seconds to join a 1.5meg file split into 488k sizes
 im not sure if faster CPU would help or faster hard drive but it wouldnt hurt.

**this program makes an ini file when splitting, very important but if you dont have one
 this is how it looks like just incase you need to make one or if you want to join split
 files made from other utilities(if thats possible, havnt tried)

contents of the ini
"filename.extention"
number of splitfiles



simple eh? 
filename.extention is the name of the file you split. if you split Amazing.mpg it would 
be "Amazing.mpg" with the quotation marks.
the number of splitfiles is how many files there are. so if you have 15 files, (the last 
one would have an extention of .015) the number in the ini would be 15. Since other
split programs dont use the ini, im assuming they write to the first or last split file 
and since i dont do that i dont see there being any compatibility. oh well. if you want to 
try it its no problem. this wont delete anything, but if your not carefull it will
overwrite files.
