split and cat

To cut a file into 1400000 byte pieces (to fit onto floppy disks, for
example):

$ split --bytes=1400000 INPUT PREFIX

This will take the file INPUT and split it into a collection of files
called PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, etc.

To put them back together again:

$ cat PREFIXaa PREFIXab ... > newfile

Hope this helps,

Joe Haig
