How to create multiple floppy discs?

Hi Dave,

You need a file splitter. There are plenty of freeware ones around, try a
google.com search.

I have a 2 MB file that I want to move to a different computer that has
only a 3.5" disc drive (and hard drive).

How can I use WindowsXP to divide this 2 MB file into two floppy discs to
transfer and load on the other machine?

I use to do this under dosshell long ago, but how to use WinXP for this?

If the other computer is online you could always email the file to yourself.
If not, this tiny file splitter/joiner does a great job:
http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/#win32 It *should* fit on to a floppy so
that you can move it to the other computer to rejoin the split file.

HTH,

Ian.

Have you just tried zipping the file, hat should reduce it
to a size that will fit on a floppy.

And even if the resulting zip file won't fit on a single floppy,
almost all the standard zip utilities provide for spanning the
file over more than one disk3ette.
