PC Magazine had a program awhile back that would split a large file into
several smaller files for just this purpose.    I no longer have that issue,
but I believe the program was called SPLIT.  Incidentally, they also had a
program that would re-assemble the files.  :^)

Check your local libraries back-issues.

Good luck!
