Hi,
I'm recently back with the Mac and one tool I'm missing sorely is Winrar.
I just tried to send a file to someone via e-mail, and their e-mail system wouldn't take the 8MB attachment. So, in that scenario, I usually stick the file in a zip and split it into 4MB chunks.
However, I could not figure-out how to do this with Stuffit Deluxe 11. The zip option doesn't seem to offer file splitting (I have to say for for $80
, there's no chance I'll be buying this package!!!)
The people I'm trying to send stuff to are not "computer people" and cannot be expected to manually cat files together or do other weird stuff, hence my desire to use zip (personally, I prefer rar). Sending a .sit file, which Stuffit 11 Deluxe will create split-up, is not an option as the Windows users won't have a clue what to do with it.
What tools are there for OS X which provide a full featured zip (and preferrably other formats as well) creation toolset? Normally, I would just do a split on a tar file, but as you know, that would puzzle the windows users as they do not understand how to cat files back together. So, the tool needs to generate "it just works" type zip files. Obviously freeware is preferred, but I'll look at other options.
Thanks,
Mike
