Hi all,

does anybody know to to produce EGBT where
the *.nbb and *.nbw files are split into several parts?
So far I have been using

datacomp e:8192 name.nbb

to compress the nbb (and nbw) files I have computed.
But what if the resulting *.emd files get too big?
How do I produce a multipart EGTB?

Thanks for any hints you have!

There was a tbsplit utility available in one of the Nalimov code releases.

The function is extremely simple. Start with the uncompressed .nb? files, and sequentially split them into files of size 2^31, with extensions .0.nb?, .1.nb?, etc.

Dear Marc,

thank you very much for this info! I had already noticed that
by combining the .0.nbb , .1.nbb etc. files using
copy (in Windows) or cat (in Linux) I could create a file
with the exact length given in tbindex.cpp

Does anybody have the source code of tbsplit?

Hi Marc,

thank you very, very much!
