Hi...
I use Splitter & Merger 4.0 ..
I got this very useful tool back when I was using floppies and had to split files between floppies and then rejoin them..
the application does not have any reserve by way of splitting files as long as they are 'contained in a single file' ( I once helped out someone who wanted to split multiple files over multiple cd's in as equal parts as possible - well to do something like that - you'll want to zip all the files into one .zip [or other format] file and then split the file.
The handiness of this file is that its a small handy package.. so small that it's readily smaller than most image files so it is easy to e-mail to your friends should they want to use it.
At present though there is hardly any support for this app. and the support website is 'Under construction', but with all the core functionality well tried and tested, even a novice can make do.
Under GPL and distribution as allowed by the owner; I'm putting the application (zipped) up for download..
here (splitter40_uk.zip) for a limited period of 1 month form today.
To further understand the application's abilitues (as core and simple as they are..

) here's the author's discription:
QUOTE
* Splitter & Merger is a tool which its function is to split large files into smaller and easy to
manage ones.
* Splitter & Merger is able to compress files before split them. With a reduced file, less parts
are generated and as a result splitted file is easier to transport.
* Opposite to many similar tools, Splitter & Merger split the files at very high speed.
* Its reduced size of 29Kb makes it very easy to transport and in opposition to similar products
it doesn't depend of external files like DLL's, OCX's, etc.
* Splitter & Merger can generate the first part as an executable module (SFX). As a result S&M
can rejoin the parts again in another computer without S&M installed.
* Splitter & Merger can generate the parts directly to a removable unit (like diskettes) and also
make disk spanning. To do this yo must select "autodetect" as part size. (read manual for more
details).
* Splitter & Merger has no limit in the size of the file to split. It can split files bigger than
4.2 GB without problems.
* Many other features. Please take a look!

Hope this has been of help. If anyone requires any support with this, please PM me.
