ZIP Splitter Version 1.0 by Ron Alcorn All right(s) reserved Copyright (1989) PLEASE PARDON THE SORRY DOCUMENTATION WHAT IS ZIP SPLITTER? This program will allow you to split up ZIP Magazine in to numerous files and also create a table of contents listing for the files that were created. Each file will contain an individual section from the magazine. For example, if ZIP Magazine had 24 sections in it, there would be 25 files created, named ZIP-SECT.1 through ZIP-SECT.24, and ZIP-SECT.LST, which is the table on contents listing. WHY DID I WRITE ZIP SPLITTER? Well I was motivated by a few BBS sysops. They wanted ZIP Magazine formatted for online BBS viewing. Obviously, if we did this, then what would the rest of the ZIP Magazine readers that printed it out on paper say? Well, you know the saying, you are darned if you do, and darned if you don't. One sysop mentioned that we could make two versions of ZIP Magazine, one for printing, and the other for online viewing. Well this made sense, but this would also mean that ZIP Magazine would have a much more costly phone bill. How so, well instead of having to upload ZIP Magazine once to each BBS, we would now have to upload it twice. We don't charge anything for ZIP Magazine, so I only "partially" see it as our responsibility, not "fully". We get donations and subscriptions, but only a few, though we are more than gracious to receive them. Not only that, we feel that we are lucky that people even like ZIP Magazine. We thank all of you, no matter what! Shortly after these happenings, I got fed up with Quick Basic, which I had been using for quite a while. Actually I having nothing against the language itself, but the size of the compiled files were just too big, especially when an external library was being used! This motivated me to learn Turbo Pascal, so what a better way to start learning a new language than making a program that would really be of some use. WHO NEEDS ZIP SPLITTER? Mostly sysops that want to support ZIP Magazine.

HOW TO REGISTER? Simple, just call my BBS, and let me know you use but a donation of $5 appreciated. Surely this

write a letter, or call me voice ZIP Splitter. The program is free, bucks or more would be greatly program will save you some time.
