Data Backups too CD

I've been handed the task of backing up some of our system files on a Solaris box. No probs. Zipped the logs that needed backing up but my superiors do not want it on tape, they want it spanned on CD's. The CD-Writer is available on a MS box. FTP'd the zipped logs across too the MS Machine but now i need too span this 20+ GB of data onto CD.
Problem 1. How too span this over multiple CD'z. ( Does winzip support this ? )
Problem 2. Easiest method too rebuild.

If anyone knows a better way too go about this it would be much appreciated. I know this is not a purely unix post but i'm taking a chance as i have too have this done asap.

XDoes*()																  XDoes*()

Name
  XDoesBackingStore, XDoesSaveUnders, DoesBackingStore, DoesSaveUnders - query server support for backing store or save unders.

Synopsis
  int XDoesBackingStore(screen)
	   Screen *screen;
  Bool XDoesSaveUnders(screen)
	   Screen *screen;

Arguments
  screen    Specifies the appropriate Screen structure.

Returns
  XDoesSaveUnders() returns True or False.  XDoesBackingStore() returns WhenMapped, NotUseful, or Always.

Description
  XDoesSaveUnders()  returns  a  boolean value indicating whether the screen supports save unders.  If True, the screen supports save unders.
  If False, the screen does not support save unders.

  XDoesBackingStore() returns a value indicating whether the screen supports backing stores.  The value returned can be  one  of  WhenMapped,
  NotUseful, or Always.

  Save	unders	and  backing stores are optional server features controlled with window attributes.  These macros tell you whether the server
  supports them.  A "save under" is an area beneath a window (usually a menu or dialog box) that the server saves, so that when the window is
  removed  from the screen, the underlying applications do not need to redraw their windows.  This speeds up user response with a slight cost
  in increased server memory consumption.  A "backing store" is an off-screen copy of a window, maintained even when the window is not	visi-
  ble or not mapped.  The server uses the copy to redraw the window whenever that window would otherwise have received an Expose event.  This
  reduces the load on applications at the expense of a possibly great increase in server memory usage.

  The C language macros DoesSaveUnders() and DoesBackingStore() are equivalent and slightly more efficient.
