Author | Topic: Splitting files
johnwoll2 Junior Member Posts: 3 From:Grimsby, NE Lincs, UK Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 07-04-2001 09:07 AM I'm having trouble with largish files on the net. I have a computer that isn't hooked up to the net and one that is. I want to get some files off the net onto my off net computer. I don't have a link and my only way of transferring files is via floppy disks. I am aware that there are programs that can split files into seperate bits (eg, 1.44 MB bits). I don't know the name of any of these programs so I find it difficult to locate them on the net. Please could someone direct me to either the name of such a program or the site. Thanks for any help.

You can do disk spanning with it. www.winzip.com You really should have this program. A lot of files and TR fan levels including mine are Zipped. ------------------ Will Gell We are the music makers.

It transfers at about 200Kb/sec (much quicker than a floppy drive) Don IP: Logged

Then do standard files transfers using xmodem, ymodem, or something like that. (I know, it's old-fashioned technology, but it does work). IP: Logged
