Anyone know how to split large binaries ?

[Archimedes' Lever]

How about IZArc.org It's free. "Create Multi-Volume Set". Plus it
pretty much replaces all the other programs.

It doesn't matter what you use to split up a file, there is STILL a
limit placed on Usenet posts, so the size of the file segments needs to
be smaller than that figure.

Most news clients which include uuencode-decode capacity usually will
also break up a large post at a pre-specified number of lines per
segment.

So with the RIGHT news client (not some LAME POS like Outhouse
UnExpressive), one does not have to do anything to the file at all,
because the news client will break up the post for you.

The reason folks also split up the file is so that if there are any
folks out there that didn't get it all, he only needs to re-post that one
file, not the entire thing.

WinPar is a good one too as it creates recovery data so that folks that
did not get it all can still likely put it together with the EC code.

So does OE.

Doesn't your ISP provide a "personal web page"? Every ISP I've ever had
has.

Oh yes, but I'm all too aware of the problems w.r.t. publicing such sites,

I have3 formally registered domains (plus one from the ISP) that I may choose
to use at some time for this purpose but for now with the likes of Allison
around I would prefer to post quasi-anonymously.

Sure, but you aren't funny. If I couldn't take a joke I would filter
everything from Europe.

I have some useful manuals etc that might be of interest but they are
too large to post singly (my news provider rejects them). Around 1 MB or
so.

I'm only using Netscape 4.8 (because I like it before anyone makes sarcy
comments).

Thanks for an amazing amount of suggestions and recommendations.

Maybe over XMAS I'll have the tine to try this stuff out.

p.s. and have a great Xmas and a Happy New Year (we're going to NEED one !).

Bring on the revolution ( and I'm not kidding when Goldmine Sachs Board
members think they're woth $100 million bonuses). Anyone know the meaning of
'detritus' ? In fact they're awarding themselves more in bonuses (for
failure) that the Government gave them as a 'Bail-ouit' !

That's OUR money ! Where do taxes come from ?

Goldman Chiefs Give Up Bonuses

In a closely watched move that may be followed across Wall Street, the
top executives at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. have decided to forgo their
2008 bonuses. In doing so, they are giving up potentially tens of
millions of dollars in payouts in a year that reshaped the securities
industry.

Yes, about 7 top executives declined their 100 millions bonuses, leaving anothe
15 million to be distrubuted to other members of staff.

CHECK YOUR SOURCES !

After months of internal debate at Goldman, the seven top executives
at the firm, including Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein, asked
the board's compensation committee to grant them no bonuses. The board
approved the request on Sunday.


Who's government, paleface?

The US.

The same place liberal "spread the wealth" taxes comes from.

MORON. GWB IS NOT A LIBERAL. HE'S ENSURING HIS MATES GET COZY PAY-OFFS.

Bring out the guillotines and the gallows ! I'm not quite sure if politicians
(who made it possible) or bankers should go first but then I don't care.

An entire generations of thieves needs to be eradicated.

My broadband ISP doesn't give me any web page or newsgroups so I have to
stick to dial-up for those.

Go for it. It would only solve less than half though.
