split and cat

[malcolm]

Are split and cat supposed to work properly as a means of splitting
large binary files and joinging the pieces back together. I find that
split craps out having performed a good job of creating nothing useful.
If I use split on a Linux box and then try to use cat to put the bits
back together, that fails as well. Typical files I have tried are 10+MB
being split into 1MB chunks.

Just curious to hear if anyone has got them to work - in which case its
my setup. Or if its a common problem, is a fix on the way?

regards
malcolm
