Multi archive

[wormyx]

hello there,

How to pack some big files, i wanted it to be cut into pieces, tiny pieces. I seen files like winrar they use like .r01, r02 - r100 or like part01, part02 and so on, how is that ? I want to make something like that.Or where can i get the guides for that ?

If you use rar.exe, the command-line version, you can use the -v switch to choose the size of a single file volume.

I use -v4505600, which is about the size of a DVD.

When rar goes past one file, the archive names change to archive.part1.rar, archive.part2.rar, archive.part3.rar, etc.

Winrar splits the file automatically if you check the option "Split to volumes, bytes" and there you can decide how big every part should be.
