The following script to split a file into 50 MB chunks works fine in the Mac version.

do shell ("split -b50m" && theFile)

But not being familiar with Windows I'm having problems getting my head around how to do the same in the Windows version.

I don't believe DOS has a "split" command. I believe split is among the many Linux shell commands available for Windows with CygWin:

Check out "read from file/until" in the dictionary.
50 MB is a lot to stuff into memory but I guess shell does the same.
Never tried reassembling a file using this.
