It's not particularly pretty (but then again, it doesn't sound like that really matters to you), but you could use PKZIP (et al) and then some kind of SPLIT utility (such as my own SPLIT.EXE) that will split up the big archive into floppy sized pieces. As I say, this isn't particularly pretty, but it does work. I use a variation of it on a regular basis. -- (Another fine mess brought to you by valley@gsbsun.uchicago.edu)
