in thread divide the large files to small

One CAUTION: I don't think the command line utility split exists on all OS's (e.g., I'm not aware of it on MS OSs).

But it certainly is easy enough to write a Perl script to either do the equivalent of split or to use toolic's solution in his referenced post.

    That depends what you mean by "existing". If you mean, "split" isn't available after installing MS OSses, you are probably right. But last time I looked, Perl didn't come with those OSses either. OTOH, I'd be extremely surprised if there wasn't a Windows port for split. All common Unix tools have been ported to Windows.

      To name just one I found a long time ago: HJSplit -- ugly, but it gets the job done.
