[paranoia] splitting sound files?

[Wolfgang Weisselberg]

Hi, Ralph!

Trying to kill the keyboard, Ralph Corderoy
(ralph at inputplus.demon.co.uk) produced 0,9K in 29 lines:

> If your head and tail prefer text files then use dd(1).

>     dd if=big.raw of=part0.raw bs=1024k skip=0 count=1
>     dd if=big.raw of=part1.raw bs=1024k skip=1 count=1
>     dd if=big.raw of=part2.raw bs=1024k skip=2 count=1
>     ...

This can get SLOW for large values of skip, since (at least
some versions of) dd read through the whole 'skip' part instead
of skipping to the part that matters.

But then there's always 'man split'.
