I need to split it into 3 parts then access it using elm, or even mutt. Is there a utility in FreeBSD that can be used to truncate a file into some predetermined parts?=20 Sometimes in Winblows I use a small utility called MEGAFLI, but there are others also. I cannot access this file using mutt because doing that does brinf my system down to its knees..a pentium III 500MHz with 128MB RAM... All help appreciated.... =20 -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Wananchi Online Ltd., wash@wananchi.com 1st Flr Loita Hse Tel: 254 2 313985 Loita Street., Fax: 254 2 313922 PO Box 10286, 00100-NAIROBI,KE.
