[comp.sys.mac.misc] Splitting Stuffit

david@bourbon.ee.tulane.edu (David Kaufmann) (01/31/91)

I have a Stuffit Classic file that's too big to fit on a single
floppy. Is there a way to split the archive, making two out of one,
without unstuffing everything, creating two archives and restuffing?

Email gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Stuffit v1.51, Stuffit v1.6 (Classic) and Stuffit Deluxe v2.01 all have
a "segment" option in the menus.  You can also adjust the size of a
segment.

To use, preset your segment size (select "Set Segment Size..." from the
Other menu) and then select "Segment..." from the Other menu, navigate
to your file and hit OK.

StuffIt will segment a large file, each piece being whatever your
segment size is. The last segment could be smaller, but this is typical.
