Slice'n'Splice

Image a scenario...

you have invested a significant section of the evening lower-loading the most recent, bestest shoot-em-up video game demonstration. And obviously, you are not stupid, which means you did this at function utilizing the quick organization web network. However it's 56 mega byte, and also the only way to obtain it home would be to duplicate it on to 41 floppy discs.

Oh nicely. But you wouldn't dare really perform the point at function, much as well risky, you do not want to obtain fired in the end. You invest eons zipping it on to a large pile of floppies and eagerly carry them home. You begin unpacking them. It requires an age, but you are so searching ahead towards the video game. All is heading good, but then disaster strikes - the fortieth floppy is duff. You are not able to study from it. You realise, with mounting dismay, which you'll need to produce the entire zip arranged once again. All 41 floppies of it. Unlikely? A tall tale you believe? nicely it happened to me. Truly, it did.

get into Slice'n'Splice. It slices large data files into floppy (or every other) dimension chunks, after which splices them back again with each other once again. Every chunk could be copied to some floppy independently from the rest. As soon as you've all of the chunks exactly where you would like them, simple execute Slice'n'Splice once again (or execute the optionally produced microsoft-DOS . BAT document) to splice the chunks back again to the authentic document. If a floppy fails as well as a chunk is damaged, then very first of all Slice'n'Splice will find this and warn you about it, and secondly, you only have to recopy that 1 poor chunk. Not the entire arranged.

you are able to even produce a shortcut to Slice'n'Splice within the SendTo folder. Then simple correct-press over a document, choose deliver To through the pop-up menu, then choose Slice'n'Splice. Simple.
