Two events have transpired to lead to the posting of this script: 1) I've been meaning to post a new script to the Scripts section of the blog for some time, and 2) MacOSXHints today had a hint about splitting and rejoining large files, and suggesting scripting this process. I just happen to have had such a script lying around for some time, so this seemed like an especially appropriate time to post it.
Essentially, this script is made to take large files and cut them into smaller (theoretically CD or DVD sized) pieces. The same script can then be used to rejoin these chunks. For splitting, the script uses the split command, and to rejoin files, it uses the cat command.
So here it is in all its glory.
