split

Hi,

Is it possible to split a large file into smaller files on Windows 2003 using a tool provided/supported/sanctioned by Microsoft?

I see that there are a lot of freeware tools (various zip tools) for this task, but I need to move files off of a production server, thus would like to avoid tools I don't know if I can trust. I would much prefer some tool included in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools or something along those lines. Does such a tool exist?

Thank you.
