[FIXED] Windows command to split a binary file

Issue

I would like to split a binary file into smaller chunks. Anyone knows a Windows command for that?

Because of Android’s UNCOMPRESS_DATA_MAX constraint, I cannot overwrite the Database with a file 1MB or larger. So if there is a better way to do it I am OK with that too.

Solution

There’s no built-in DOS command for that. Use the dos port of the unix split command:

split BIGFILE -b 1000000

There are 3rd party alternatives, but this is the simplest.
