	  USAGE

		 SPLIT-IT  is  easy  to  use. You can
		 just start it from the  command-line
		 and enter the questions. Or you  can
		 start  SPLIT-IT  with  the  filename 
		 supplied on the command-line.

		 SPLIT-IT YourFile <enter>

		 Or drag-and-drop the file  ontop  of
		 the  SPLIT-IT  icon  to  start   the
		 process


	 TO SPLIT a file

		 If  you  want  to  split a file into
		 smaller parts  then  choose 'S'.  If
		 SPLIT-IT can't find out the filename
		 then you are ask to enter  the  name
		 of the file you want to split. After
		 this the maximum size of your  parts
		 is asked. This size  is  entered  in
		 byte acurate. Then SPLIT-IT will cut
		 the file into chuncks of  the  given
		 size. The  parts are  numbered  from
		 filename.1 to filename.xxx

	 TO GLUE a file
		 You can glue a file  together  again
		 by just drag-and-drop filename.1  on
		 the SPLIT-IT icon.  After  that  the
		 glueing process  starts  automaticly
		 and  it  will  produce  the original
		 file,  including  extention   again. 
		 Other ways to start this process  is
		 to start SPLIT-IT from  the  command
		 line, with or without a filename  or
		 to  start  SPLIT-IT  and  answer the 
		 questions.
