want to have to go to the trouble of breaking up these huge folders (and
subfolders, of course) into smaller 650 MB folders myself; I want the
computer to do it for me. This doesn't seem too difficult to me, and in
fact, as I said, DOS could do something similar to this with the Move
command. This seems like a problem that lends itself quite well to
AppleScript, but apparently no one has ever solved this problem on the
Mac by any means. Am I the only one who has ever wanted to do this?
okay, now i understand the problem (pardon me for jumping in
late and not catching up on the thread). it seems you could
do this on X by accessing the hdiutil through the shell,
creating some images, copying the appropriate batches
of files, and burning. all from AppleScript control.
if you're looking for the algorithm, no i don't have it at
hand.
