PUBLIC DOMAIN PROGRAM  RON ROCK 4/29/88

CHOP/APP.COM  is  an ASCII text file utility (based on CHOP18  )
which  will divide a file of any size into sequential files of a
given  number  of  lines.  A sequence  of  files  with a  common
filename  with  sequential  extents may be concatenated  into  a
single  file  named  d:filename. ALL. As each  chopped  file  is
concatenated  it may be erased to increase available disk space.
An  excellent companion for VDE to enable an "oversize" file  to
be  chopped into smaller segments (I use 1000 lines each for  my
system  and VDE), edited and "put back together" with a  minimum
of effort.

To begin enter: CHOP/APP<CR>
Choose either "C" to Chop a large file into smaller files ;or
              "A" to append chopped files into a single file.
              (You no longer need to "PIP" files together.)

Of  course, any sequence of ASCII text files may be concatenated
by  renaming  them  with  a common  <filename>  and  an  ordered
sequence of extents <.1,.2,..999>.

As  with  any  utility,  remember  that you  may  not  write  an
identical  filename.ext  to the same location from which  it  is
being read.

The  program  is  written in TURBO PASCAL v.3.0. Note the  Turbo
"CHN" file.  If you have a universal Turbo library type file you
may  wish to use the CHOP/APP.CHN file to "chain" to rather than
the  full  CHOP/APP.COM file. (START:20E2h/END:A000h)

CHOP/APP.COM is installed for the KayPro II '83 (ADM 3a) terminal,
however  only <CR>'s are utilized for screen display to provide a
"universal" display.

(See FANFLD13.LBR for installation hints if the screen display of
CHOP/APP does not appear correct.)
