disk spanning

[theEclipse]

Hi!

I was wondering how you can combine the files that windows spans across multiple disks?

ex:

you try to copy a 1.5mb file onto a disk, and windows works on the first disk, and then POP, up comes a window that says the current disk is full and to insert another one.

but windows seemingly does not have any programs to combine these two parts of the file.


thanks for any help

Only easy way I know is to use WinZip, and span as many floppies as you want. You get a set that is recompilable.

There are two that I use. Winzip and HJSplit.
Either one will span any number of disks and rejoin the files. They both work under all MS operating systems.
They're both available from my website. Cheers,

Yes, I use both of these, they are great. but that is not what I want.


I have a program that is spanned on multiple disks (by windows as described above) and I need to get off the disks.

windows me has the compressed folders built in, so I thought that they might also have some file combiner too.

what is the file extension?

 

[theEclipse]

there is not special extension extension, its just the regular files extension. there is not .001 or .002 extendsion like hjsplit does. it is just the one file, split.


try it for yourself:

try to copy a 2mb file onto a flopydisk, without splitting it. it will get up to about 1.2mb and then tell you to insert another disk and then it will continue to write, but on the new disk.
