> I know I'm not really allowed to say this, but you seem to know a lot about everything and I really need to know this. If I have a large file of any format, is it possible to split it into bits and then put it back together using DOS or windows. Thanks, and please forgive me for posting off-topic.

Sure can. Winzip has (I think) a 'spandisk' option.

Also, if you get hold of pkpak, lzh, arc, zoo and pkzip204g for dos, theres a spandisk option in most of them.

You tell the programs what size chunks to break the archive into, then you can choose to save it to a floppy OR to save it to a hard disk directory.

Also, there are installation suites you can get over the net (name of any particular one escapes me right now) that allow you to 'chunk' files into .cab format or similar formats and use a setup.exe type program to 'unchunk' them from different files.

hope this is what you were looking for.
