Hi Michael - Not sure whether you're into UNIX or not, but assuming
you're good with the CLI you can just use the 'split' command. It's
present by default in almost all *NIX including MacOS.
Just open terminal, and do:
> split -b2000m <your_file> split-<your_file>-
This will split it into 2GB blocks, named "split-yourfile-aaa,
split-yourfile-aab" and so on.
To reassemble, just cat them all back in order into one file, like:
> cat split-yourfile-aaa > ./your_original_file
> cat split-yourfile-aab >> ./your_original_file
...

It's useless for me except to archive things that I do not want to lose.. and with the Lion Fiasco being pulled from the App Store, I want to archive my InstallESD.dmg to SkyDrive in case I ever need it again (I have some Mac Pro machines that wont run ML, but I am able to do it with Parallels on the old hardware, unless Apple changes that)...
The problem with SkyDrive (like everything Microsoft does)... it has a file limit of 2gb, even though my SkyDrive is 50 times that... does anyone know of an application that I can use to archive large files, and cut them into definable chunks? If I could make the InstallESD.dmg into 1.5 gig chunks I could archive it...
Thanks much,
Mike
