No "cat" was not one of the utils I remember for this job. All they did was divide a zip file into parts as close to the specified max as possible and put them back together. IIRC the individual parts were not usable on their own. It was merely a way to package the file so it would fit on removeable media. I think there was also an index file written that listed the files that had been made so the merge file could put them back together. I am pretty sure it was intended for use with archive/backup files only, but, I could be wrong.
