File Cutting and Rejoining Utility (CutF)
Best for Floppy Disc Transport of Big Files
What's the Problem?
Some times you may need to carry big files through floppy
discs. It's a real problem since you need to first cut files then
copy it to floppies then transport it to other machine and last of all joining
back to original size. You need to install slicing utility to both the
machines. So you need to carry CD/Extra Floppies to carry the installer itself.
It becomes real problem if you need to install the application in an
Internet/office machine (You can't do that).
This utility is built to solve
this problem.
It can cut, rejoin files. It doesn't have an installer, so
no question of installing, size is so small that you can carry it with the same
floppy that is carrying the cut files. It's completely automatic and easiest to
use.
User's Advantage
* Extremely Small Size
(Program size-10.5Kb, B&W-5.5Kb, Installer size-35K! Zip size-2.5K)
(Nearest Sharewares are 100 times bigger). That means Copy & Carry it
through almost completely filled floppies.
* Quickest/Easiest to Use (May be a console
application but Powerful as windows app).
* No
installation needed (Don't need to be an administrator to
install it in a NT computer)
*Sliced files can also be joined by any text
processor.
Usage
* Most
Easy: First select the target file, then
drag and drop the file on the utility's icon. System will run the application
and serve data to it. The program then does the operation (cut/join) displays
the summary. Everything is completed by a single mouse click.
* You
Can Use it as a command line tool.
* You can give the file name by running
the program first, then manually typing the file name.
* Join files by
just giving the 1st
file [xxx1f.xxx] (It automatically scans & join others).
Specification
* Sliced File Size is Fixed at ~1.4 Mb/ There is some left
(~12kb) over space to accommodate this utility (incase the target computer
don't have CutF) and save space for bad sectors. [Run scandisk surface test on
floppies first.]
* Files are sliced with the original file name + 1f, 2f,
3f ... added.(That sequence is needed for joining)
*File size limit:
Theoretically no file size limits exist(as much Window can
handle).(Expect some minor visual problem if 99 files overflow).
Version
Color , Black &
White:
A Black & White Version is available with
the same facility but at half size (5.5K only) of the color version (I had
given that also if size matters to you.)(Just note that floppies containing
files cut by B&W version has the extra space to accommodate the B&W
program not the color version file.) Joining is not a problem,you can mix.
License
Commercial Usage is not expected.
Platform
Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, XP

Other Points
Why I Wrote this?
* Transport files from other's machines (May be NT running) and bring them to
home through floppy discs.
* Not to request others to install cutting
utilities on their machines.
* Not to carry extra CD/Floppies for Big
installers.
Thanks everybody related to it.
