[comp.sys.apple] Help with 3.5" drive

Followup-To:



I'm kind of new at this, so please bear with me.  I recently purchased
an Apple 3.5" drive for my 128K //c and tried downloading some hex
files from the net.  The terminal program I use has a buffer of about
15K, so larger files are broken up and saved in several files.  My
question is how can I get these separate files into one file to 
EXEC it, or how can I EXEC the separate files into one?

I also have a number of programs that run only under DOS 3.3.  If I 
try to format a 3.5" disk to DOS 3.3 and copy files unto it, I get
a disk full error when I use up the amount of space normally on 
a 5.25" disk.  Is there any way to let DOS 3.3 know that there
is more room on the disk?

One such problem I have is that I have an old version of Manx Aztec C
which runs on DOS 3.3.  I tried copying the files to a ProDOS formatted
disk, but I get a "wrong DOS present" error.  Is there any way to get
it to run under ProDOS or is there a newer version availible for
ProDOS?

Thanks in advance for any help.
