this seems to be fairly difficult to do

something about resource forks

SimplyRAR does this

as does Unison creating file.001 units

I dont know what file.001 are but they seem to be able to be rejoined.

any thoughts on spliting files on a mac ?

split&concat wont split files w resource forks.

thanks

Zip the file first and split the zip?

EDIT: Or just use good ol' tar and split that. Turns out the Mac version will include resource forks cleanly.

"" ol' tar and split ""

what program is this ?

Tar is an extremely old UNIX tool that is commonly used to archive files. Since you knew about split and cat, I figured you had heard about it. See the page linked above for how you use it, but basically

Code:
tar -cf archive.tar file1 file2 file3

to add files file1, file2 and file3 to archive.tar, and

Code:
tar -xf archive.tar

to get the files out again.

What was this thread all about ?

You first claimed it was difficult, and now you're sticking with your original approach, which seems to work its fine
