Alien in ubuntu

sudo apt-get install alien

HJSPLIT alternative for LINUX

[step 1] Download the gtk-splitter.rpm here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1116749/com/gtk-splitter-2.0-1.i386.rpm.html
I choose version 2.0-0 because I know it is stable.

[step 2]Next, fire up your terminal and CD to the directory where the gtk-splitter.rpm is, and copy & paste this command line, that will convert the RPM into a DEB installation file.
cd 'home/user_name/Desktop'
sudo alien gtk-splitter-2.0-1.i386.rpm

[step 3] Install the gtk-splitter.deb by clicking on it with your mouse (simplest way???).

[step 4] Use your terminal to start the app "gtk-splitter," or create a Launcher.

I use gtk-splitter all the time for joining and splitting huge archived files. It is very user friendly and fairly easy to use if you are a former Windoze user.
