Options for split archive

2File fi2 = new File("Bible.txt");
3try (Archive archive = new Archive(new ArchiveEntrySettings(new DeflateCompressionSettings()))) {
4    archive.createEntry("alice29.txt", fi1);
5    archive.createEntry("Bible.txt", fi2);
6    archive.saveSplit("C:\\destination\\", new SplitArchiveSaveOptions("part", 65536));
