I ftp'd this from garbo yesterday : it's supposed to take a large .ZIP file and
make it into smaller .ZIP files.  But every time I try and use it it comes up with
the message "Something wrong in archievie file (sic)".

Am I doing something wrong, or doesn't it work on PKWare's PKZIP .zip files ?

Can someone suggest what's going wrong, or suggest a better one large --> a few smaller .zip files program ?

Cheers,

Grant

I use a zip-splitter call "zip-chunker".  It is has a command-line
interface (no fancy menus), it is very fast, and can be found at 
funic.funet.fi in the pub/msdos/zip directory with the name 
"zc102.lzh".  I can really recommend this program.
