I have a feeling this should work (based on my memory), and am in the 
process of trying it.

I had downloaded a promising utility called filesplt which included 
source, a linux binary and a dos binary.  The linux binary worked fine 
splitting the file and generating the checksum info.  However, the 
windows binary refused to acknowledge the existence of the pieces.  
(used both the long and 8.3 names, a dos window and a dos boot, nothing 
worked)  If anyone has used this and knows the trick in windows, let me 
know.
