[chuckiechan]

Is there a way to save large files to more than one floppy? If there is, please clue me in..

Thanks in Advance..

I've used this program for over 500MBs worth of files. You simply use this program to split a file into a specified size (1.3MB to fit floppies) and it creates files along with a batch file to put it back together. It's called JLC Split It 95. Take a look!

Go to www.winfiles.com and search for file spitters. I recently downloaded and used one (Winsplit I think) and it worked beautifully.

Winzip can do it.

Sure! Pkzip a:filename.zip -& name of file. Piece of cake!

A bit of advice, test the files after you are done. A lot of times I've had to do this and it would'nt work. Or you could just save yourself the trouble and buy and external zip drive. Does anyone know what happened to the zip plus drives? They just seemed to disapper.

OK here is exactly how to do it in winzip:
Start a new winzip file.
Drag the large file or folder with files and dump it there.
On the next screen type the path such as for example:
a:\large.zip
and have an empty disc in the drive
The rest should be easy.
If you want to break a large already zipped file put it in a folder first and zip the folder otherwise it might not work

Do a search at download.com or any other shareware site and look for WinRar. It will do it for you easily. AND, most times with better compression than with Winzip. It will split the files into however big you want them.

If you decide to go the drive route, do not buy a Zip drive. A CD-R or CD-RW drive is the way to go, and internal 2x2x6 drives can be had for under $100. Blank CDR disks are under a buck each and CD-RW disks can be had for a couple of bucks each.
