* I am in dire need of a CP/M-based hard disk-to-floppy large file backup utility that allows files larger than a single Apple 5-1/4" (126k) floppy to be backed up on several floppies. I was planning to write one in Turbo P or BDS C but I thought there might already be something handy out there. I need to back up large data files from a Corvus hard disk running Omninet Constellation II software. This system does not recognize other hard disks (Sider, etc.) or large storage devices, only other Corvus disks or tapes ($$), and regular floppies. Any suggestions? (I don't seem to be able to get to Simtel20, by the way). Many thanks in advance, Jeff ************************************************* * Jeff Miller * * Multimate International Corp. * * 52 Oakland Avenue * * East Hartford, CT 06108-9911 * * (203) 522-2116 x257 * * UUCP: * * ...!seismo!utah-cs!utah-gr!pwa-b!mmintl!jeffm * * P.S.

Jeff, Seems to me back in the old SIGM archives (early disks, down under 150 as I recall), there was something called BIGCOPY .. anyway, permitted a huge file to overflow to a second disk. Never did figure how you were elegantly supposed to put those fragments together again - don't recall if the program(s) did it both ways or not. Give me a little time and I'll try to dig itout. Never used it since I use 8" floppies myself. Regards, David Kirschbaum Toad Hall ABN.ISCAMS@USC-ISID
