[linux-help] Re: Splitting a large file over multiple floppies.

[Benjamin F.Bunck <bbunck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

try using 'shar'.

example:

to split 'bigfile.txt'

>  shar -L 1400 -o smallerfiles bigfile.txt

will chop bigfile.txt into an appropriate number of smaller files (in this
case, of size 1400k) labeled smallerfiles.01 smallerfiles.02....etc.

to patch back together, use the 'unshar' command.
