Hi guys.
Well, the subject says it all, I think.
I need an application that will allow me to create compressed files and be able
to specify a certain file size.
For those of you who use windows something like winrar or similar.
Any help is very much appreciated.

I'd just compress it first and then segment it afterwards. You can
compress the folder or file in the finder without too much trouble. To
break it into chunks I'd do that in terminal. Launch terminal and cd to
wherever the zip file is. If it was on your desktop you would do "cd
~/Desktop". Then

That was not what I expected as a solution but I like it.
I will certainly try that. Although, It would be a lot easier if I had a
graphical user interface to deal with this problem.
Thanks again.

Hi Chris.
My first operating system experience besides MS-dos back in those dark days,
was Unix via a dos terminal connected through ethernet. First it was sun os and
later one flavor of unix or other, such as Freebsd, sco unix, linux etc. So I
know exactly what you are talking about.
However,
I'll resist the temptation to dive into geezer computing but Sun made
some nice stuff back in the day. It was also a lot easier to connect to
them from the Mac than Vax mainframes which required a special OS patch
to support DECNet.
Never heard of Ipackr and couldn't find it in the store. For
Be aware that the technique of using split and cat, while certainly effective,
is not actually the same thing as producing what the current zip tools call
“Split” (or, before then, “Spanned”) archives. For the production of the
former from an already-created zip file, see zipsplit(1), which is
My understanding is that it will create the splits to contain whole
files. So if you are compressing a folder full of little files then
zipsplit can work well. If you are trying to split a single large file,
like a video file, then zipsplit won't be able to break it up. It's also
limited to 2GB
Hi Chris,
Well, my point was simply more that zipsplit generates split archives that are
compatible with WinZip etc. I think 7zip already knows how to “Combine”
selected files, but the standard way to indicate split zip files, as indicated
by the zip format itself, is with this zip 2.0 extensi
