File Breaker v1.0 README
------------------------
Copyright 2002 by Rudy Rudy.

To use this program, no installation is necessary. Simply download the executable (filebrk.exe) and save it anywhere you like. To use it (breaking or combining files), make sure that all the files are on the same folder as the executable.
To Break a File
---------------
- Put the file you want to break and filebrk.exe on the same folder.
- Double click filebrk.exe
- Enter the name of the file you want to break.
- Enter the maximum size for each file in bytes. Ex: 1000000 for a million bytes (approx. 1MB)
filebrk.exe will break the file into as many pieces as needed (up to 25), each with the maximum size you specified.
To Combine Files
----------------
- Put all the files to be combined and filebrk.exe on the same folder. The files MUST be named: 01.brk, 02.brk, 03.brk and so on.
- Execute filebrk.exe (by double-clicking).
- Enter the filename to be created.
Yes, this program is very simple and does not allow any customizations. And it can
only break a file up to 25 pieces (well, you can always play the trick of breaking an
already broken file). Nevertheless, the whole point of me writing this utility is:
a fast and easy way to transfer big files through floppy. I have not made any changes
to the functionality of the program from the day I wrote it (summer 1998).
Notes
-----
And as with all my shareware, you are welcome to modify the source code as much as you like (that is why I am sharing it!). However, if you should decide to do so, please have your modified code referenced to the original one (i.e. my website: http://www.rudyrudy.com). That's ALL that I am asking.
