But unfortunately, the .zip and .rar formats are still the most commonly used in binary groups. -- John Corliss BS206. Using News Proxy, I block all Google Groups posts due to Googlespam, and as many posts from anonymous remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries posted through them. No ad, cd, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited, trial or web wares OR warez for me, please.

I was curious as to why you wanted these chunks in RAR format - not why you wanted to split up compressed archives into chunks. 7-Zip and IZarc (and others) can easily do this. Just the format they do it in won't be RAR. (likely, .zip, .7z, etc.) Basic instructions for IZarc "How to split large archive": <http://www.izarc.org/tutorials.html#split> A 7-Zip walkthrough here with good pix: <http://www.linglom.com/2008/10/12/how-to-split-a-large-file-using-7-zip/> Cheers. -- dee |
