I am running W98. I want to copy a large file onto multiple diskettes. What command to I need to use so that I don't get the "The file is too big" etc...

Thanks.

I recommend using Winzip. Not only will it compress the file so that it doesn't take up so much space, it also includes a feature called multiple disk spanning that will allow you to write a large file to more than one disk.

WinZip is easy to use... and to add to an earlier comment... to invoke the spanning multiple volumes feature, simple zip to the floppy and its automatically activated.

A long while ago someone told me you could do it and I spent far too long looking for how it was ACTUALLY done :-)

Cheers,
Tim.
