+ <para>This function splits one (large) file up into multiple
+ smaller files so that they can be placed on smaller media
+ (&eg; zip-drives, ...) or sent by e-mail. The multiple
+ files can be combined again to recreate the original file.
+ &krusader; and &tcmd; split/combine
+ functions are compatible. To split a file choose
+ <emphasis role="bold">
+ <menuchoice>
+ <guimenu>File</guimenu>
+ <guimenuitem>Split</guimenuitem>
+ </menuchoice>
+ </emphasis>or
+ <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;
+ <keycap>P</keycap></keycombo> A Split dialog will open to confirm
+ the operation.</para>
+ <para>If the name of the original file is
+ <filename>foo</filename>, then the name of the smaller files will
+ be
+ <filename>foo.000 foo.001 foo.002</filename> &etc;
+ There is no theoretical limit in the number of smaller files, but
+ it is recommended to limit the number to a maximum of 1023 files.
+ &krusader; creates a
+ <filename>foo.crc</filename> file. This file contains the name,
+ size and the crc checksum of the original file. It is possible to
+ combine the file without the
+ <filename>foo.crc</filename> file but in this case
+ &krusader; cannot check if the the original file was
+ recreated correctly.</para>
+ <para>An example of a
+ <filename>foo.crc</filename> file:
+ <programlisting>filename=foo size=432998467868 crc32=21EB719A</programlisting></para>
+ <para>To combine the multiple files choose, select a partial file
+
+ <filename>foo.xxx</filename> and choose
+ <emphasis role="bold">
+ <menuchoice>
+ <guimenu>File</guimenu>
+ <guimenuitem>Combine files</guimenuitem>
+ </menuchoice>
+ </emphasis>or
+ <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;
+ <keycap>B</keycap></keycombo>. The target directory is the
+ unactive panel and can be changed. The file names must be
+ numbered in ascending order:
+ <filename>foo.001, foo.002, foo.003</filename> &etc; or
+ have letters in ascending order: ("
+ <userinput>
+ <command>split</command>
+ <option>-b</option>
+ </userinput>letter method")
+ <filename>fileaa, fileab, fileac</filename> &etc; If
+ the file
+ <filename>foo.crc</filename> is found in the same directory as the
+ partial files, &krusader; will use this file to check
+ the combined file for errors.</para>
