It has a copyright related to PC Magazine (Ziff Communications). It splits a file onto floppies according to the size of the disk. (You can use a mix of different sizes.) It puts a program called SPLICE on the first floppy which has the file name embedded in it. If you have trouble locating it, Email me.
