LXSplit for Linux and Free-/OpenBSD.
By Richard Stellingwerff.

This utility is used to split up huge files into smaller pieces without compression. It is fully compatable with HJSplit. HJSplit is a program written by Freebyte!. See http://www.freebyte.com for more information about HJSplit.

Installation is easy, just run:
 make
 make install

The program will be installed as "lxsplit" in /usr/local/bin by default. If you wish to install it elsewhere, edit the Makefile, and change the 'INSTALL_PATH'.

LXSplit is capable of splitting and merging files, with the -s and -m flags respectively.

Example:
To split a huge file into smaller pieces of 15MEG each, you would invoke the following command:

 > lxsplit -s hugefile.bin 15M

Output sized can be given in (M)egabytes, (k)ilobytes and (b)ytes.

Merging smaller pieces into one big file is done by invoking this command:

 > lxsplit -j smallfiles.bin.001

All resulting files (from either splitting or joining) will be placed in the current directory.

If there are any problems with this software, please drop me a mail at remenic@remenic.2y.net and explain the problem. Also mention your OS version and type.

Use this program at your own risk. I am not responcable for any damage caused by the use of this program.
