You _could_ use e.g. google to search for some file splitter running under windows. Actually you could also try this link: http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/ but since you assume all men are evil/stupid you probably won't. And, as many have told you ext2 is NOT your problem, if you upgraded your system properly (specifically make sure your libc supports lfs). Btw, Cygnus/CygWin make Windows really usefull :-) Good luck, Emil
