$ tar czv Pictures | split -d -a 3 -b 16M - pics.tar.gz.

Leave it to a proprietary software vendor to turn a cheap and easy parlor trick into a selling point. "Hey guys, why don't we turn our _collection of multiple files_ into a *collection of multiple files*!!" Extract the ^above with this:

cat pics.tar.gz.??? | tar xzv

^extract on any Unix - no need to install junkware!

(If you must make proprietary software, at least make it do something *new*)

if [ -e windows ]; then use 7-Zip
