DD will split files.

Out of curiousity, why?

Maybe to write to DVD.

WinRAR can split files into multiple archives.

I don't want the split text files in zip archives..I need them seperate lol.
isnt dd for linux? $:-\$
I need this program for windows please. I just need to split this 17 gig file into smaller text files.

Here's a class that performs what I think you're trying to do.

TuneUp Utilities will do it: tune-up.com
