[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Looking for un-<arc/zoo/zip/???> for multiple floppies

pete@Octopus.COM (Pete Holzmann) (02/28/90)

I've got a file on one machine that is so big it has to be split across
multiple floppies when compressed. On that machine, this is no problem; just
compress and then split it.

But when I send it to people, they don't have room to put the compressed
file back together before un-compressing it.

What I need is a multi-volume de-archiver (archiver would be nice too!) that
understands making floppy changes *while de-arching*.

Is there such a beast out there? Preferably with source code so I can run it
on Unix and DOS? I've looked through the Simtel listings and haven't 
noticed anything from the short descriptions. Without direct ftp access I'm
loathe to request huge numbers of programs in a search. So if anybody knows
which program is right, I'd really appreciate it.

THANKS!

Pete
