Yeah, but this only works if both machines are running the same version of dos.

I just replied personally, but I'll post a list here to, just for the hell of
it.

CHOP31.ZIP   PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> Flexible ascii/binary file splitter
FRAGMENT.ARC PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> Split large files
SCOPY.ZIP    PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> Copy, move, update, break, concat files, etc.
SPLIT49.ARC  PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> Split large binary or text into smaller files
SPLITF.ZIP   PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> Patriquin's split large text files into parts
TMOVE2.ARC   PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> Move/copy/delete/break-up/rejoin large files
ARJ100.ZIP   PD1:<MSDOS.ARC-LBR> ARJ archiver has better comp. than ZIP & LHarc

Btw, I would suggest ARJ.  It's compression isn't all that much better than 
zip (30 files totaling 489365 bytes became 209291 with zip, and 200000 with
arj), it's functionality is pretty good.  Ability to automatically split files
into volumes that can be used together or separately is my favorite.  I use it
as my primary method of backing up now. 

Other nicities(sp?) include 5 levels of compression (including just storing)
that can be cotrolled through the command line.  Listing files that are 
automatically stored instead of wasting time trying to compress them (such as
other archives, or gifs).  Can use an input file for the list of files to
archive.  Probably some others I haven't figured out yet.

Enough of the commercial, time for the FPR (Frequently Posted Response :-)
