I don't know how to make the subject just right, but here's the challenge:
Make a program in VBDOS or maybe just QBasic (use a GUI or TUI, not just command-line "type a filename:" stuff) that:
-Splits Huge files to smaller files
-Takes a split file and makes it back into one
-Packs many files together into one
-Unpacks one file back to multiple ones (from above)
-Opens a binary file and converts it to text (such as XX3402, used in SWAG Pascal - do a google search and download it, it comes with Pascal Source)
-Take a text file and convert it back to binary (from above)
Of course, all operations will need to use binary mode so one can pack/unpack or split/unsplit Binary files (EXE's, ZIP's, etc). Like I said, it should be in VBDOS or some other TUI or even better a GUI (but only if it isn't flashy). Make it fast and easy to use (not command-line). Send it to qbspot@zwallet.com for rating.
