Why another file splitter ?
All you can do with Splitter, you can do as well with a compress utility like WinZip (disk span option), nevertheless there are some reasons to use Splitter:
- You haven't to install anything, you can run Splitter from a floppy disk on the target computer.
- No registry changes are made.
- The size of the parts can be set freely, so you can split your data for other purposes (e.g. for sending in an e-mail).
- Splitter doesn't use much disk space and can be stored and delivered with your data.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can Splitter also split video- and audio files (e.g. AVI, MP3, ...) ?
Splitter only splits files into several parts, regardless of the file type. That means you can split such files, but you won't get two independend video files, before you can watch the movie again, you have to join the parts. If you want to get two video files, you need a special splitter program, which knows the specific file format.
I splitted a large file with an old version of Splitter, now i can't unsplit the parts, i get the error message "invalid access to memory location"
There was a bug in the older versions 2.3/3.0 of Splitter, in the section known bugs you can download a repairtool.
By joining a file, Splitter asks for file *.h001 but the file doesn't exist !
Make sure, you have selected one of the parts instead of the original file. This often happens by quickly testing Splitter, when you split a file and don't select one of the parts for unsplitting.
Why does Splitter complain about an invalid size ?
Splitter only accepts integer numbers (without decimal point). If you need a smaller size (for example 0.5 MB), you can select the next smaller unit (KB) and type 512 KB instead. 1024 Bytes = 1KB, 1024 KB = 1MB, 1024 MB = 1 GB
What programming language was used to write Splitter ?
Splitter Light is written in Delphi, though i used a lot of Win32-API calls to make it as small as possible.
