Split large files and put them back together with GSplit

Have a large file that you need to send to a friend, but don't feel like using YouSendIt or a similar service to get around your email provider's file attachment size limits?For years, folks have been posting enormous files on Usenet (or storing them on floppy disks) by dividing them up into tiny portions using applications like HJSplit. The problem is that you need to use the same application to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. So if you're trying to send home movies of the kids to your mother over email, you'd better be sure she knows how to use HJSplit if she wants to watch them.
GSplit is a bit more user friendly, since it doesn't require the recipient to install any software. GSplit creates an executable file that will put all of the pieces back together. The program has a few other nifty features as well:

- Option to integrate with Windows Explorer allowing you to split files through a right-click context menu
- Split files by choosing the number of pieces or the size of each piece
