Does anyone know how to backup a large file (> capacity of a single floppy) to mutiple floppy disks? I tried "dump" but it only backups a whole file system. Thanks. -Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- David Jeng ECSE Department Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst. jeng@ecse.rpi.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------
