Is it possible to copy a large file (~4 Megs) to floppies without having to go in and manually edit the file into smaller parts? I downloaded a large datafile to a pc with modem. This file needs to be transferred to another pc physically distant and without modem hookup. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? Please reply via email. Thank you, Dan dana@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu

Try PC Backup from Central Point Software. It is part of PC/Tools, and I have backed up large files across multiple volumes before. Problem is, your site at the other end will need the PC Backup to read and uncompress the files. For what you get, though, PC/Tools is money well spent. Besides the disk compression and backup, you get a nice DOS shell, undelete, unformat, and a few ways to recover from disk problems. Hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark R.
