hello,

   after more testing i realised it's my own silly fault.
i was trying to enter non-integer sizes, eg: 1.1MB.

   i should've realised only integers would work.

when i use decimals, it creates files of size 1 byte.
i guess it doesn't matter now, but the date on split.exe is 10-31-96.

sorry about that,
i feel silly now, hehe.

daniel.
