I need to send some large (2-4MB after zipping) binary files on
floppy disks to a typical home user of MS-DOS in a remote area.
How can I split these files up into smaller chunks to fit
the floppies, in a way that will allow the user to stick
them back together under MS-DOS 6.2?
I already tried zipsplit but it said the file within the archive
was too big, so it seems to want to split zip archives only where
it finds the end of a file within.
Perhaps I could just use split(1) and have the DOS user cat
the parts together, but I have no confidence that that would
work under DOS. Due to the isolation of the user, we can't
afford to make bold guesses.
