File splitter?

Is there a good file splitter-joiner for binaries in portage?

Thanks

split / cat should work just fine on binary files.

Anything with a GUI?

I haven't used it, but a search of http://freshmeat.net results in http://freshmeat.net/projects/kjsplit/

With a litle configure file editing I got it to compile, and it works great.

Thanks

*bump*

I need to split large binary (tar) files. Doesn't split choke on files larger than 2^31? There's no info about the 32 bit issue in the man /info pages so I need to know if there is a replacement in portage.

TIA,
jel

Hmm, app-misc/lxsplit looks like it might do... Nope... Chokes on my 31,2 GB tar...
