  File Splitter 1.3   (Downloads: 319) 
Split large text/html files into smaller files using embedded split commands. Split large text/html files into smaller files. I find it 
much faster and more accurate than cut and paste. 
 
You embed commands in the big file telling it which pieces 
of it are to go where, then let Splitter do the work. It is 
much faster and more accurate than trying to select huge 
blocks of text in an editor. You don't accidentally lose or 
duplicate text.  Keeping files small makes the site more 
responsive.

mimics a card sorter. Source provided. It is faster than 
both HeapSort and QuickSort. It sorts using a comparision 
routine you provide to compare two elements to be sorted

be sorted. The time to sort each item  unlike most sorts, 
does not increase with larger sorts.  It depends rather on 
the key length.
