Q: How do I split a file with Chainsaw?
A: Adjust the settings on the control panel and then drag and drop the file onto the
big Chainsaw button. Chainsaw will split the file into a number of .chunk files plus a .bat file.
Each .chunk file is just a piece of the original file. The original file will not be modified.
Example:
Myfile will be split into
Myfile.chunk1, Myfile.chunk2, Myfile.chunk3... and myfile_Merge.bat

Q: How do I put the chunks together again?
A: You don't need Chainsaw to put the chunks together again.
Copy all the .chunk files and the .bat file into a destination directory of your choice.
Make sure that there is enough space for the original file. Then run the .bat file.
The original file be generated in the same directory.
You may then discard the .chunk and .bat files.
Note: on some Win95 configurations you cannot use the desktop for this. Use any other directory instead.

A: Yes any time, by clicking on the Close button.
