Here is a question for the netland,

I'd like to make a backup copy of Aldus PageMaker. In order to save more
space than direct duplicating the original disks, I'd like to compress 
every files into one archive. I would like to keep the program (PageMaker) of
the backup still personalizable. In Aldus's scheme, you need to personalize
the program before installation. Is there a way to go around that? I found
that the program is split into pt1 and pt2, but I cannot find anyway to
put them together. I have tried copying them to hard disk and select two 
and open them at the same time. It only create two uncompressed files without
combining them together into one file. The files are not recognized by
StuffIt, DD, and Compact Pro. 

Although most files are already compressed in the original disks, Aldus still
leaves some space unused in several disks. If I use compact pro or stuffit,
I probably could put everything into 4-5 disks instead of 7. As a backup, I
prefer to keep the program intact (without personalization). It seems taht
Aldus prefer the other way.
