File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: Split&Concat_1.3

Notes: Freeware utility to split or recombine large files (for use with internet newsgroups or if your file is too large to put on one CD). In Internet newsgroups large files often are split into smaller parts since messages can not be of more than a certain size to be able to post them in newsgroups. For that reason you can find often binary files that are split in parts like filename.mp3.001, filename.mp3.002, filename.mp3.003 etcetera. It is possible to put these parts together using commands in the Terminal yet not everybody is handy with that. That is why I decided to create a small utility with the OS X interface that makes it easy for people to split large files to be uploaded, or to put together split files downloaded from the Internet. You can also use it to divide very large files over several CD's. For further information visit Split&Concat's homepage at http://www.xs4all.nl/~loekjehe/Split&Concat/

Changes: Version 1.3 released on October 9, 2002. A major update: - Code of the program entirely rewritten, for a better stability and reliability. - The program is now compatible with Jaguar OS 10.2.1 - Code for the file renaming routine (after split process) fully rewritten using perl (fast!) - Many bugs fixed, among others: - program crashed due to incomplete loading of nibs at program start on a drag and drop action - program stopped reporting a succesful split or concat process while the process was still busy - splitting a file into more than 100 parts crashed the program - the "Forced Quit" button was not reliable (now replaced by a "Cancel" button) - Various extra error checks built into the program: - to prevent the user from trying to split an OS X application - to prevent trying to produce output on read-only media (CD, DVD) - to prevent splitting into parts larger than 2 Gig - The Esc key now releases the input panel (where you indicate the file size for the split process).
