Splitting .zip files?

[SonG0han]

Hi! Does anyone know a way to "split" zip files?
for example if you have a 4 MB zip it should be seperated into several files with 1,4 MB (for a disk).

WinZip Self-Extractor has that function available. I normally use WinRar because it has compression, splitting, SFX support in one package.

propably he is asking how to do that with ams.

Problem with spanned .zip archives is that all the instances have the same name.
So you can not have all of the 1.4MB sized parts in the same folder.

Yes, I mean: is it possible with AMS.
Can you split them during the zipping process or maybe after that if that is not possible?

use some command line zipping tool and call it from apms to do the job 4 you

Search for the binary splitting project that IR put together. You might be able to use something like that and zip your project with AMS then split the zip into seperate files based on the file size you have defined. You would then be forced to use your AMS project to combine the split files back into a single zip.

I saw that Winzip 10 is out and they have a command line version. That may be something to look into as well. You may be able to split the zip using a command line.
