Great. I didn't know that. However, in this case I was downloading a
Windoze file (I try to keep Windoze off the internet as much as
possible) and needed to make a multi-volume zip file (which pkzip could
do easily on the Windoze side) so I could take the floppies and load
them into the target windoze machine.
I still want to know how to do this, but in the mean time, I had a major
Duh! and realized I could use the usb sd card reader I bought for use
with my Palm and copied everything onto a 256K sd card. Much easier!
