As storage and file sizes have been increasing, the storage limits on CD and DVD media has not. HJSplit, a free software utility, allows you to quickly and easily split large files into two or more parts for burning to a CD or DVD. Another great use for HJSplit is to split up a large file in two or more parts prior to emailing it as an attachment that may get rejected due to email size limits. Further, HJSplit runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac so if you split a large file in Linux, it can be re-joined on a Windows machine and vise-versa.
