RlxSplit - Split up large files

[rlx]

As usual this was born out of necessity. Had a 46Mb pdf , no tools on work laptop to convert it because also no adobe (reader only). PdF was all images so AutoCad pdf attach / import won't work either. Have a (legal) tool on my own computer but pdf wouldn't fit through the mail because of IT limitations. We used to have something like One-drive / Sharepoint but also blocked now , so I wrote this app. It chops up pdf in to 10MB pieces (or any size you want) , it can also email them at the same time and at the other end of the line you can put the pieces back again with the same app. So if your IT department tries to make your life a living hell , hell , maybe this app can give you some relief.

I'll give it a test run when I get a chance.

 

My current attitude with IT limits, is to not do it if IT deems it needs blocked. I can be lazy as well.

Yeah , I know what you mean but I'm in constant competition with a certain lower wages country and have to prove my worth constantly. Sometimes it feels I have the main role in my own Cinderella story. But it gives me some satisfaction whatever they throw at me I come out on top. And of course it's always good to keep those mental fluids flowing.

 

Working of app is relatively simple , it uses binary read / write stream to chop chop. And at the other side it uses copy command to put them back together. Had some issues with calling the copy command from lisp but lisp but Clippy  advised me to use cmd.exe /c /b instead of copy /b so kudo to Clippy too
