Spliting a large file on several floppies

First compress the file, with gzip or bzip2 (see section 40). If it still does not fit on a single floppy (1.4Mb), you can use the command split:

split -b1m file


This create a series of x?? files which you can copy on separate floppies.

To reassemble the files:

cat x* >file
You might also want to look into compress or zip if you don't have gzip.
