  chunker
  dechunker
  split
  
     <programming> A program like Unix's "split" which breaks an
     input file into parts, usually of a pre-set size, e.g. the
     maximum size that can fit on a floppy.  The parts can then
     be assembled with a dechunker, which is usually just the
     chunker in a different mode.
