When downloading files or transferring them from one computer to another,
not all comms software removes the unnecessary info that is added to the
end of the file by the transfer protocol. (For example, a file which was
originally 40123 bytes might grow to 40960 bytes because of the "padding"
that is added to the end of the file).
Chop is a small CLI command which allows you to remove this unwanted data
from the end of the file, by chopping the end of the file off to reduce it
to its original size.
To use it, simply enter the following into a Shell window:
Chop <filename> <size of file in bytes>
For example, if the file manual.txt is supposed to be 40123 bytes then you
would type the following:
chop ram:manual.txt 40123
