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.
Version 2.5:
- Now released as a Universal Binary for PPC and Intel Mac.
- Thanks to Gerard Putter of the MacPAR DeLuxe project for providing the par binaries and
his assistance. Par2 is now considerably (40 %) faster on dual (core) processors..
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

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.

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.

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... '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.

CHRIS lol...3MB is small, unless your on a Mac powerbook 500 or older (10 yrs plus). Some of these negative comments really crack me up, but also concern me when the app is free, I wonder how a developer feels to read such things. This app is stable, it has never locked up or crashed for me, it works well, it's fast and is very intuitive.

DAVIDLASKA I feel the same funny about some comments. I sometimes wonder if they are personal attacks on the developer.

ANONYMOUS The author implies this is a replacement for the command line and a 'small app'. When the download is already 3 MB compressed it's not correct to call it 'small' - especially when it's only wrapping tools you already have on your disk.

ANONYMOUS Quit your whining, in the days of standard 250GB drives, 3MB is small.

ANONYMOUS Worst splitting app ever. MacHacha (http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/11052) is a million times easier to use, and simple too! The buttons are not clear (Concat? What on earth does that mean? You can figure it out, but its annoying). Also, I had to 'Concat' my files twice before i got the actual file, wtf is up with that? Useless, worthless software. Should be torched along with the rest of the Google search widgets...
