Dear friend,
After an rpm -q split search in Fedora Core 2, I found that the program
isn't installed.
In my Debian GNU/Linux (Sarge) is a default command. Today, with the
every day growing hardware capabilities it is rarely used. In the "good
old times" (:-) it was a very useful command.
Let us soppose that you have a very "big" .mp3 sound file of circa 4.3
Mb and you want to transfer it from your desktop to your laptop, your
desktop and laptop aren't connected to a net and your laptop hasn't a
cdrom (A very unusual situation nowadays).
The solution was very simple:
$ split -b1m big.mp3 big.mp3 [RET]
This command creat 4 new files: 3 of 1 MB and 1 with the rest.
You can then copy the first 3 files in 3 floppys (1.44 MB) and the last
one with the rest.
Copy them all to your laptop and then reconstruct the original file with
the cat command:
$ cat big.mp3* > big.mp3 [RET]
$ rm big.mp3* [RET]
This last step is only to save space after the original file has been
reconstructed.
Post scriptum: Ok, I know that this is a Fedora Core mail list, but all
we are members of the GNU/Linux brotherhood, :-). And, by the way, I
only use Ogg Vorbis psico-acustic lossy compresion algorithm.
Regards,
