This program facilitates e-mailing large files by easily splitting the file into multiple parts, but could use a wizard to help novices choose the best splitting method. The interface is a trio of simple dialog boxes: join, split, and compare. In the primary box users choose the file to split and the split-file size. The number of split files that will be created is listed to allow the user to choose a different size. Joining is a simple matter of selecting the first split piece and clicking join. User options include combining the file in a separate directory and deleting the split files after recombining. The compare dialog makes it easy to check the split and join processes before e-mailing the split files. The person receiving the files does not need MasterSplitter since the program creates a Windows batch file to recombine the files. This isn't a tool for everyone, but anyone needing to split large files will find it useful.

Pros
For me, in an age where user interfaces are way overdone, it's nice to have a simple little program that does what it's supposed to do. I've used MasterSplitter for years to join downloads, but only just started using it for splitting and it's effortless. I have yet to have any problems with it whatsoever. I haven't checked out other programs that do the same thing because I've always been happy with this one. It just takes a little brain power to use properly, but it's definitely not difficult.
Cons
Yeah, it'd be nice if things were explained a bit more, but for a download that's less than 200K, I can deal with a simple interface for a simple program.

Worked as I expected

Pros
Just used this to split a 1.5G text feed file into 100 small chunks I could open in excel and do some quick analysis over. Had no trouble with it, took about 90 seconds to split. Split my files mid-row, but that wasn't a very big deal. Haven't tried the join/combine functions in the product.
Cons
pretty cursory UI

Thanks for suggesting Splttur. I could not get MasterSplitter to work on a large file. Otherwise, it has worked ok. Splittur did the trick first time & was easy to use.
Quite good, but Splittur is much better

Summary
MasterSplitter is a great, comfortable standby, but when you're ready for advanced features and great abilities, check out Splittur instead, which costs half as much, but does five times as much as MasterSplitter.
poor software

Tried to split an .avi video into 2 pieces - it split it into 1001 and then gave me an error message. Waste of time.
