FileFix Description

The FileFix application was developed to be a small file utility to enable precise cutting, splitting and joining of files. I don't know if this have ever happened to you, but if you are a dialup user like me, downloading huge files can be very time consuming. Several times it happened while downloading a big file that my PC crashed or get a nice BSOD. Some download managers can handle this as they have a "rollback" function to eliminate the corrupted last part of the partly downloaded file, sometimes the "rollback" setting isn't big enough and you find yourself with a 300MB+ white elephant. In the past, I used to use a file splitting program to "split" the file up to the corrupted section, then continue downloading from that point onwards. This wasn't always very handy as sometimes the corrupted section is quite close to the start of the file and you have to practically re-download the entire file. I landed up the other night in exactly that position and wasn't planning to download another 300MB.The first requirement I needed was a function to "cut" a piece from the file from a specific start point to a specific end point so that I could recover the part of the file after the error. This would prove equally handy to get the 1st part of the file assuming only one corrupted section. The Cut function was probably the hardest part, never having worked on files at byte level. Now it looks pretty elementary, but I could not find any helpful examples and it took some time to make it work exactly like it should.
