breaking up a zip file

breaking up a zip file

[Paul Furness]

Hi, everyone.

I seem to remember seeing somewhere a handy Linux prog that will take a
gz or zip file, and re-package it into a number of smaller zip files. I
don't remember the command, but it was used something like:

Command  -s chunk-size archive.zip

and it would produce archive01.zip, archive02.zip etc, each of size
"chunk-size".

Can anyone point me at this util?

Thanks,

Paul.

let's try zipsplit.  It appears it's nearly time for a new keyboard.

I remember zipsplit from my DOS days, but where's it available
for Linux?

Look for info-zip linux package and you'll find it.  The info-zip project
has a mirror on cdrom.com if memory serves and that's where the basic
source code can be downloaded and pointers to other sites are available
for the encryption components.

An easy way to split a file into several pieces is 'split'. You can use it 
with files in text- and binary-format.
After it use 'cat' to merge the files.

Hope it helps

Thanks, everyone.

'split' is my friend and works beautifully.
