Have a 115 Meg download and a 100 meg Zip drive...how do I put this prog on two disks?

I have heard of Disk Spanner...but what do you all use to put a program on two or more zip disks?

I am downloading that new Voyager FPS demo and want to take it to another computer.

Why not use PK Zip and compress it. A 15mb reduction in size shouldn't be too hard.

Even if it doesn't compress, WinZip allows splitting archives across disks.

Will check that thanks.

There's a FREE, super easy to use program called HJ Split that will split the file up into whatever sized parts you want. I'd suggest you just .ace .rar or .zip it up though, depending on what kind of file it is it should fit.

Justin:
Love The BHG.
It is coming over the net on a Zip format already. Am going to try to use winzip.
Had to d/l it a second time--damn piece of crap WORK computer.

 

[Prodigy^]

it can't be zipped more......downloads are already compressed for us

anyway, you can use this program:

it's german, but should be pretty self-explaining. choose your file, the size of each of the split files (or choose to split in two) and click "Teilen" (scissors button). there! when you wanna patch 'em up, just run the program, click the small .wsp file that's created, and click "Kitten".

c'mon guys, why all the programs, just use good ol' pkzip -& !!! Oh wait, was that even their right flag.. hehe

Use Winzip to span it across the two disks. You may have to unzip it, & then re-create the archive starting on disk 1, but Winzip will definitely do it.
