<OT> Windows question: Splitting large files

[Bill Day]

Joel, I have used a program on windows, reliably called Split File Extension. 
 It is Freeware and can be gotten from 
http://space.dolphin.free.fr/Windows/split.html

I have not used this file via win4lin or anysuch way, only on 95/98/NT so I 
don't know if it will do what your asking but will span files into 1.44mb 
images for disks, creating one executable where all you have to do is put 
them all in the same folder on the destination computer and then run the 
executable.

HTH,
