Too large file to fit in one floppy. You should use split(1) to break
the thing in smaller floppy-sized chunks and copy those over to an
equal number of floppies. Quick guide of split, since you don't have
manpages for GallantWEB:
# split -b 1400k s_apache.tar.gz
This will create files xaa, xab, xac, ..., which when concatenated in
alphabetical order will produce the original file:
C:\apache> copy /b xaa+xab+xac+xad apache.tgz
