I have a very large file on my MSDOS 4.01 machine that I need to copy onto
360K diskettes and transfer onto an MSDOS 3.3 machine.

The file is an .EXE file of about a megabyte in length and is a self-extracting
archive created with PAK.

Naturally, I cannot use 4.01's BACKUP/RESTORE to copy the file over several
disks because 4.01's RESTORE will give an "incorrect DOS version" error when
I try to restore the file to the MSDOS 3.3 machine's hard disk.  I presume
that using MSDOS 3.3's BACKUP/RESTORE will fail for the same or similar
reason.

Upgrading the 3.3 machine to 4.01 is not an option, unfortunately.

What other utility could I use that won't take the DOS version into account?
