- Hello Jay!

- In a msg of <14 Nov 92>, Jay Chu writes to All:
-
- -> I have a 3 meg binary file that's too large for copying to any
- -> floppy disks.
-
- -> Is there a safe method for breaking this HUGE file up into
- -> smaller files like 1.2 meg each? Then, using a combining method,
- -> I can combine the smaller files into the original file again? --
-
- I use ARJ as a compression program, and it has a nifty feature capable of this. The format would be something to the effect of
-
- ARJ a [path]archivename [path][filespec] -v1200000
-
- If you don't want to do this, you might consider DOS BACKUP, which I find a pain, actually, or maybe write a copy program for us all! <G>

- Kindest regards,
