- As you are using a PC, you could extract the original ZIPs onto the hard
- disk of the machine you are using (hopefully it has enough space which
- you can access...). You can then either split the WAD file with one of the
- many 'splitter' programs, and then copy to floppy, or, after you have
- extracted the WAD, you could then use ARJ, and use the split archive
- option (sorry, dont know the syntax - never used it).
-
- However, with original ID archives, the WAD is usually embedded inside
- a PC executable, so simply copying the ZIP files to disk is no use. This
- is why Simon (?) made up the ARJ version - this is after extraction on a
- PC...

- Hm, perhaps there is a hidden file, or something on the disks?
-
- Hope this is of some help...
