| Split PST Tool software which can split large PST file

   Watch out for this spam. Besides being several MB of
.Net-dependent software to do a simple thing, the author
clearly doesn't know English very well, the price is
nowhere to be found, and the installer contains a
4.5 MB DLL named Aspose.email.dll. An emailing program
in a file splitter? Turns out the DLL is from a company
called Aspose and that's actually the thing doing the
file splitting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspose_API

    There's a 1/2 MB of EXEs in the package and
they can't even split a file -- a job that could be done with
a few KB of simple code by any compiled software. Instead,
a giant DLL intended for a large number of MS-Office-related
operations is doing the work!

  Actually, it's not entirely inappropriate to the group,
though. File splitting can be done with VBS, assuming
a computer not set to an oriental codepage. Not
pretty, but it works. One just needs to find the file
length, read that much via Textstream, and write it
back. If it might have nulls then each byte can be
converted to numeric. The only drawback of binary
operations in VBS is with reading strings: When you
look at it as a string, the first null becomes the end
of the data. But as long as you handle the bytes
without "seeing a string" it works fine. There's also
ADODB.
