Hi All, I have a problem that I hope you may be able to help me with. I often have a need to create graphic files that are several MB in size. I then need to give these files to various people on various computers. The size of the files means that they will not fit onto a 1.4MB disk (even when compressed). I could use the standard MS Windows, Windows 95 or DOS Backup to transport these files, but not every person I give the files to will have MS Backup (or the correct version) on their machine. What I am after is a Compression program (or backup program) which will take a file of several MB and place it on several disks. It needs to have some sort of standalone executable file which will then decompress and join the files at the other end. It needs to be standalone for ease of use at other end. The program will preferably be in DOS or Windows 3.1 format (i use Windows 95, but many of my clients/suppliers don't)) If anyone knows of such a program, could you please e-mail me with the details ASAP - my wife won't let me spend enough time on the net to monitor newsgroups. :-( If possible I would like the program to be on the net so I can download it immediately. I need a solution urgently. Thanks in advance Darren darrendr@powerup.com.au -------------------- Darren Drysdale Brisbane, Australia.
