Interesting question (even if it isn't C#). What you're wanting to do, as I
understand it, is take a directory that has a big file in it, generate more
directory entries that point to consecutive portions of the original file,
and delete the entry that points to the whole file. Right?

This would have been an interesting hack on a diskette back in the 1980s.
I'd be wary of messing up the filesystem when doing it on a hard disk in a
big operating system. But who knows? It probably can be done.
