This is a little C program to split files by size in bytes, rather than
by lines like the default Unix split. I use it to split large archives
to take home to unpack on the amiga by putting them on PeeCee format
disks. If anyone out there has a method of reading a multi-volume tar
archive off of disks with a PeeCee sector format let me know!

The program is supplied as source and should compile with any ANSI
standard C compiler (if you have gcc on your system just type "make").
Once you have compiled it, the command syntax is, e.g.:

    bsplit GNUEmacs18-58.lha emacs.l 720000

Will produce files emacs.laa, emacs.lab, etc. of length suitable to
fit one of each on a PeeCee DS/DD 3.5" floppy. They can then be read
into your Amiga with MessyDOS or whatever and reassembled with:

    join emacs.laa emacs.lab ... as GNUEmacs18-58.lha

or, if you have reed them in sequence:

    join emacs.l?? as ....


I realise this is not an amazing piece of code but we're not all 
programmers out there :-)
