there are shareware programs for this but I just use pkzip and pkunzip. pkzip will span a zip file across multiple floppies if need be and pkunzip will put it back to gether. Any good zip program will do this also.

Ever tried to open a compressed archive with WinZip to find out it is not supported. I found a program as easy to use and supporting many more formats. Winrar 3.0 beta is at rararchiver.com .You can also get a copy for other OS's. It is useful to open archives of past OS's etc.using .rar.
