UPDATE cross platform solution to split files

well, the very cross platform app for splitted archives is for sure the most used one on Usenet server as WinRar is the tool that anyone must have to share stuff on the old style web; it's widely installed on win machine and the format is compatible with StufIt(Apple's compression utility) as well

Now im getting on everything with RAR archive format

rar a -v24000k Maya7_0-docs_en.rar Maya7_0-docs_en_US-7.0-380.i686.rpm

(create multiple rar archives up to 24MB from a rpm source file)
