Re: [PLUG] split & cat


Get a null modem cable and use something like ZMODEM through minicom and Hyperterminal to do a file transfer. This technique would be good to learn for future use also.

I have a large windows binary (6mb mouse driver) that I downloaded on a Linux machine. The windows machine that needs it has no network connection or zip drive, so I have to break up the file to move it via floppy.

I know that I can use split(1) to break up the file on the Linux machine, but any idea how I can combine the resulting file on the windows machine?

Any other suggestions?

I was thinking of trying to "zip" the file if I can figure out the unix zipsplit.
