I hate to go "pirate-preaching" but the easiest way would be to reinstall the
software from the original disks.  Aldus includes a utility to combine the
two portions of the application into one file on a hard disk.  You do have the
originals, don't you?

It's against my better judgement, but here is one way to go about moving a
very large file:  send in your StuffIt registration fees and use that
wonderful little utility.  It can compress files so that they do fit on
one disk.  And if they don't, it can split files into pieces that can be
reassembed at a later time.  This is the best utility program I have ever
used.

Speaking of utility programs, keep your eyes open for a new utility program
coming out soon (July if everything goes well in the beta stage) that would 
enable you to copy the file from one hard disk to the other without copying
to a floppy disk (yes, over LocalTalk).  I have seen transfer speeds in
excess of 4K per second...
