You could download the original Split-it! written by Bill Buckels and just 
paste whatever code you want into whatever you are writing:

Read About it here:

http://www.teacherschoice.ca/cprog/splitit.txt

Download it here:

http://www.teacherschoice.ca/cprog/splitit3.zip

Comes with Win32 GUI and MS-DOS Versions, both in Command Line and 
Interactive Modes, with source, and is free, and has been free since I first 
distributed the MS-DOS version in 1992. Which is why it was included with 
some computer books that folks bought back then when folks actually bought 
books and downloaded from BBS's including my BBS (The BuckBoard)..

And Just to clarify, in English:

Splitting files *IS* what this real *MS-DOS PROGRAMMER* did with files with 
files to split them, back in the '80's and early to mid 90's when there were 
*REAL* MS-DOS programmers actually working at it for pay. I don't recall 
anything splendidly slicing, dicing and splicing or whatever else splitting 
and joining might be called today... the world was a larger place then. 
Programmers didn't get-out much...

Joining files *IS* what I did when I joined them. But the copy command works 
just as well for concatanating the pieces back together.

I'd almost forgot about this. Been meaning to get that MS-DOS retro website 
back-up for about a decade now.

And no, Joseph this isn't written in Aztec C... the Win32 version is in 
Microsoft C that came with Visual Studio 6. The MS-DOS version is dead-dumb 
C written compiled using Dennis Saunder's MIX Power-C but like I say it's 
stupidly simple and would take me only afew hours to code this today, so it 
shouldn't take you long to paste this into whatever you wish, with full 
blessing, and a clear conscience. You can even copyright your own work 
without displaying any credits or anything which may help you with whoever 
you are doing this for.

Have fun anyway...

Bill
