Transverter works also with 800K MFS disks. If I remember right, the Magic
Sac software usually included a formatter which would format disks to 800K and
MFS. I don't believe the Spectre software does, however.

Stuffit 1.51 allows for segmenting of files. With it, you can split a large
file into bite-size chunks of whatever size you desire.
