That's the FIRST thing I thought about when I ftp'ed it from apple.com.
Those of us who work on UNIX boxes can use split to get approximately
floppy-sized chunks; but PSUVM, being an IBM mainframe (I'm guessing),
probably doesn't have this available unless you roll your own.  Too bad.

I have it split up into roughly 260K chunks at our site.  It's in
/pub/mac/pub/programming/tn/tn.stack for those who have anonymous ftp
capabilities.  You can use sparky.nodak.edu (134.129.125.254) for now, but
on December 7th, 1989 sparky will replace plains.nodak.edu, and assume its
IP address (134.129.111.64).  I think that the 260K size should be easier to
move around.  Hope this helps a bit for those with floppy-only systems.
