[Gllug] Split

[t.clarke]

Will write re 'splitting' a tar.gz file and then recombining.

I believe re-catting split files together will probably work, but I am not
sure about splitting.  The unix version of split we use (and I PRESUME Linux
versions) split by line count, which means the source file has to be a line
sequential file in the first place.   So a gzipped file may not split into
the chunks you require.

Why not simply try and and see,  and use cmp to compare the reassembled file
with the original ?
