Cut and Paste are a package of programs designed
to aid in downloading files and transferring large files to small media
formats by breaking them down into byte-sized chunks. For example,
unstable FTP's will allow a user to download complete pieces of a large
file rather than not getting anyting if the FTP connection fails during
download the large file. Unlike UNIX dd, this command is written
in vanilla ANSI C and has been compiled and used under multiple platforms.
