st: chunky.ado, a large text file chunking utility, now available on SSC

[David Elliott <dcelliott@gmail.com>]

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new program, chunky, is now available for
download from SSC.

To install type -ssc install chunky-

chunky breaks a large text file into chunks.  The typical context for
use would be when a researcher receives a huge data dump from a
database into a comma separated value data file that is too large to
insheet.  chunky will allow serial chunking and then infiling or
insheeting and saving a subset of data. The smaller chunks can then be
appended together to create a full dataset.
