Why you don’t need HJSplit for Linux

HJSplit is famous in the DOS/Windows world as a way to split/join large files for easy network transfer. I’m just confused why they bothered to make an HJSplit version for linux. This HJSplit for Linux even requires you to install a separate library which add to the garbage for such a useless app (for nix). If you’re on linux and you encounter a file split via HJSplit, just use the venerable `cat` and you’d be fine.

cat split-files.rar.* > split-files.rar
