DESCRIPTION
In Internet newsgroups large files often are split into smaller parts since messages can not be of more than a certain size to be able to post them in newsgroups.

For that reason you can find often binary files that are split in parts like filename.mp3.001, filename.mp3.002, filename.mp3.003 etcetera. It is possible to put these parts together using commands in the Terminal yet not everybody is handy with that. That is why I decided to create a small utility with the OS X interface that makes it easy for people to split large files to be uploaded, or to put together split files downloaded from the Internet. Of course, you can also use this program to split or recombine files that are too large e.g. to be put on one CD.

JTHEISS  Hmm... Interesting. Just worked fine for me on intel 10.5.2  (Version 2.5)

ASAUTERCHICAGO  Does anyone know of an alternative to this program? As mentioned before it does not work on leopard, it simply combines the first file with itself in a weird format, so it doesn't really seem to do anything.

I know it's free so I'm not going to give it a negative review, since it looks like the original developer has abandoned the project (last update August 2006). Just wondering if there's an alternative for those of us that were unlucky enough to end up with one of these sets of split files.

I've tried Machacha also, but it doesn't combine Split&concat files.   (Version 2.5)

FAUBELSTER  I'm attempting to use this app to join 38 files into a single dmg file. It concats the 1st file OK (albeit slow...). When I choose the 2nd file to concat, I get an overwrite warning. It just wants to overwrite rather than join the files.

I've also selected all 38 files and dragged onto the icon and selected concat: each successive file overwrites the next.

I've troubleshooted the obvious: There is nothing wrong with file names. aap.dmg.001, aap.dmg.002, etc

Appreciate any suggestions to make this work or a suitable alternative app.  (Version 2.5)

AKAGI  To me, an absolutely useless piece of software. Let me tell you what my experience is.

Starting the app, clicking on Concat, indicating one of the two files (filename.sitx.001 and .filename.sitx.002), split by someone else, with the same tool. Indicating output folder, clicking on Choose...

The result:

'You are trying to do something strange, like splitting a folder or disk. Place a folder or disk on a disk image first!'

What? :) And this work receives 3.5 stars? What for?

Anyway, it may work for someone else, but the way it is explained in the help file, does not.

Does not do the job, useless.  (Version 2.5)
