A trial version Software utilities program for Windows

Chop is a nice, trial version Windows program, that is part of the category Software utilities with subcategory Files (more specifically File Splitters) and has been published by Sinnercomputing.

It’s available for users with the operating system Windows 98 and prior versions, and you can get it in English. Its current version is 1.51 and the latest update happened on 5/16/2007.

Since the program joined our selection of programs and apps in 2005, it has obtained 637.000 installations, and last week it gained 1 installation.

About the download, Chop is a reasonably light program that doesn’t need as much free space than most programs in the category Software utilities. It’s very heavily used in China.

This program is for splitting large files for easier distribution. (Or if you are a spy, you can divide a file up and even encrypt it for security reasons…)

Using either a normal window or a wizard interface, files can be split by either the number of files that you want, the maximum file size, or you can use preset common sizes for EMailing, floppies, Zips, CDs, etc…

The program can Chop and UnChop files in Wizard and normal interface, and supports file time and attributes preserving, CRC, command line operation and even encryption. In addition, if size is an absolute priority and you do not need any of the more advanced features of Chop, you can instead set Chop to create a very small BAT file which will rebuild the file without Chop.
