- Split and Merge files using GNOME Split

GNOME Split is a tool that allows you to split files and merge them back. It is written in Java and uses a GTK+ user interface (thanks to the java-gnome project). The goal is to offer a native implementation of similar projects which can handle multiple file formats (e.g. Xtremsplit).

Features:
  * Split and merge using the GNOME Split file format.
  * Split and merge using the Xtremsplit file format.
  * Split and merge using the KFK file format.
  * Split and merge using the YoyoCut file format.
  * Split and merge using a generic file format (like "split" and "cat" tools).
  * File integrity verification using the MD5 algorithm.
  * Notifications to show the end of a split or a merge.
  * Asssistants to make split and merge easy for new users.
  * Speed indicator to know how fast the action is performed.
