Use zoox. You tell it the maximum size file you want, and it will fill up that file, then nuke the last file it added. It will also prompt before creating the next file, allowing you to insert a new floppy disk. FTP grape.ecs.clarkson.edu:pub/msdos/bin4/zoox2exe.exe. The best thing about it is that you can use any old version of zoo to extract the files. You don't need to have zoox to extract. Plus, it's free! -- --russ <nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu> I'm proud to be a humble Quaker. I am leaving the employ of Clarkson as of June 30. Hopefully this email address will remain. If it doesn't, use nelson@gnu.ai.mit.edu.
