[ale] spliting a large file

[Charles Shapiro]

I wrote myself an MS-DOS file splitter in C many moons ago which worked
much like split(1). It worked fine on OS/2 and everything up to &
including NT, but I dunno about anything else. I put the files back
together with the copy command, as "copy /b first+twost+third+fourth
combined".

I betcha this would work fine with the unix split file as well. It'd be
easy to test if you have access to a Lose box.
