breaking up a file for floppy

[tontod]

i need to copy a 2 meg exe onto a couple of floppies for someone. does anyone know how this can be done or if a 3rd party utility is needed? thanks.

winrar can break up files into floppy-size volumes

Winzip

use winzip to zip it to a floppy. It will prompt you to put in a new floppy when it's neede.

I may be wrong about this but I remember trying to span a 5 meg file over floppies and WinZip 8.0 trial version wouldn't let me do it for some reason. I then cracked it and it worked after that. Something to think about if you try WinZip.

winzip. good old arj or pkzip does it nicely too

You can use Filesplit, just go to download.com and search for "filesplit".

It's a very small installer and it allow you to customize the file size you want split to.

I like to use WinRar for things like that

I have a little program that makes a chainsaw sound when you drop a file in it. It cuts it any size you want and gives a bat file to put it back together.

I use a small 274kb freeware program - splitit95

The joining part of this program can be run from DOS from a 39kb program.

Definately WinRAR.

I used winzip to do that a couple of days ago. I have version 7 so I can't confirm that ver 8 will still do it.
Cnet winzip
