Hej August!

I've run across this issue many, many times.  It makes me happy that I never
bought one of those when they were all the rage.  These days I am more likely
to run into people having issues with playing mpegs and the such that are
incompatible with Apple media software.  I have yet to run across one of them
that has issues with FAT formatted usb disks.

The more I run across these types of issues, the more I pat myself on the back
with sticking with Linux all this time.  I seriously doubt I could just pick
it up nowadays as it took me decades to reach where I am now.  Learning all
this now would be impossible for me.

I can appreciate your want for a suitable split.  The busybox one looks to be
the winner in your situation although a properly modern gnu one would have
been the best of all, were it a reality.

  :read !file /usr/bin/split
/usr/bin/split: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux

Gotta love it.  :-)

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
