As has already been pointed out, LZEXE is the program to do this.
Unfortunately, FRACTINT (version 14) appears to have already been
compressed by LZEXE (well, my copy anyway) and so of course no
further compression attempts will reduce it noticably below 168k.

Time to start searching for a program to split large files across
disks!

Still, it's well worth getting hold of a copy of LZEXE anyway.
