From: malcolm@eml.co.uk (malcolm) Subject: split and cat 25 Jan 1998 00:09:58 -0800 Message-ID: <34C91A31.36F6AA85.cygnus.gnu-win32@eml.co.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "gnu-win32@cygnus.com" Are split and cat supposed to work properly as a means of splitting large binary files and joinging the pieces back together. I find that split craps out having performed a good job of creating nothing useful. If I use split on a Linux box and then try to use cat to put the bits back together, that fails as well. Typical files I have tried are 10+MB being split into 1MB chunks. Just curious to hear if anyone has got them to work - in which case its my setup. Or if its a common problem, is a fix on the way? regards malcolm -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Malcolm Melville email: malcolm@eml.co.uk Enterprise Melville Limited Tel: +44 1435 869911 Network and Aviation Consultancy Fax: +44 1435 869912 --------------------------------------------------------------- - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
