<b>DatSplit</b>

This tool doesn't do everything possible for splitting DATs, most of those functions are taken care of by third-party tool <a href="http://www.logiqx.com/Tools/DatUtil/">DatUtil</a>.

This is useful for splitting DAT files similar to the NonGood set that can have more than one system per DAT.

<b>UncompressedSize</b>
<p/>
This tool allows a user to determine the entire uncompressed filesize (including human-readable output such as KB, MB, etc.) of a DAT or folder of DATs. This is very useful for those fortunate enough to have the space to keep their files uncompressed and also provdes a good baseline for maximum space a set will take up.
