In Mac, if you have a file that's, say, 16mb, you can save it on multiple floppies(even if it's one file/executable).

This way, fragments of the file are all loaded eventually on the hard drive. This is how I got my WP executable home, when it exceeded the size of one floppy disk.

Unfortunately, while times change, things eternally stay the same.

I'm on a Win 98 box and I want to load a 200mb file(exe/zip) into a 100mb disk.

I have 4 disks free but I need to know how to do this so that I can fragment the exe, load it on disks and then unload it onto my machine.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

M.

You may opt to use e.g. PKZip to achieve this.

You'd need PKUnzip at the other end.

Winzip is an adequate alternative.

I'm assuming you're talking about stuffit right?

If there is another way, could you let me know.

Alternatively you can use Winrar, which you can specify output file size, and just chunk it into 2 100 meg files, which would allow you to do what you need.

Winrar is easy, and you can make it self extracting. Good little utility.
