WoodCutter v1.0

This is the main release page of WoodCutter

WoodCutter is a Java based file splitter and merge utility. It is a small size and free file splitter that allows a user to split any type of file in smaller sizes. This file splitter is of much use to us in order to send large attachments through mail (where there is a limit of maximum size of attachment) by splitting them in smaller size, and then these split files can be sent by user with great ease.

One can also come up with many other interesting uses of WoodCutter as the need arises in different situations where it is required to split a large file.

WoodCutter offers 3 ways of merging back the original files. WoodCutter creates a merge file which can be processed by the WoodCutter application to join all the files back. In case the receiver of split files does not have WoodCutter installed, then also the original file can be obtained as WoodCutter also creates a batch file and a Shell script file to merge the files back. The batch file will be used in Windows platform and Shell script will be used in Linux platforms.
