SPLITUP - Split a file into byte sized chunks

SPLITUP is a utility that breaks up a big file into chunks of a given size. This might be useful if you want to EMAIL a file but the mailer has a size restriction, or because you want to copy a file to those puny old 1.4 Megabyte floppy disks. You could use the CAT command to put the files back together, or if you'll be on a PC, you might want the JOINUP program.

Issuing the command

splitup 1000 myfile.dat

Files you may copy include:
