SEPARATE.EXE and UNITE.EXE

SEPARATE.EXE was created to take apart a ZIP file and create
two smaller files.

This is useful if you have a single ZIP file that is too
large to fit on a single disk.  For example, I wanted to
download a file that was almost 2 Megabytes large.  If I
were to download it using my old 2400 baud modem it would have
taken nearly 3 hours.  The quickest way to do it was to go
to school where I could download it directly to disk.  The
only problem was that the file was to large to fit on a
disk.  This is when SEPARATE.EXE was created.  It reads
1,450,000 bytes from the main file and puts it into a file
called PART1.  The rest of the file is put into a file
called PART2.  There is also a SEPARATE.C program that can be
used on a UNIX system.

Once you have PART1 and PART2 on separate disks, you can now
copy them onto your hard drive (keeping them together in the
same directory) and put them back together using the
UNITE.EXE program.

All you need to do to use UNITE.EXE (which needs to be in
the same directory as PART1 and PART2) is specify the main
file that you would like created from the two parts.

When UNITE.EXE prompts you for the file to be created, you
must enter the filename along with the extension.

Example:

Enter name of file you would like to create:  MAIN.ZIP

Hope you find these programs useful and any questions or
comments would be welcome.
