You might be more interested in a program called ARJ, though. ARJ is an archiver whose syntax and operation is similiar to that of LHARC. ARJ also has, as one of it's many capabilities, to break up files into volumes (that is, smaller files). Arj does this in an intelligent manner, in that you can recover a file in the middle of a large archive without having to piece the whole archive back together (where as, if you break a 1Meg zip file into 3 files that will fit onto 360k floppies, you have to piece all 3 files together again even if you just want one file out of the archive). Quite a handy utility. It is available as ARJ100.ZIP in the pd1: directory. -- Mike Castle (Nexus) S087891@UMRVMA.UMR.EDU (preferred) | XEDIT: Emacs mcastle@mcs213k.cs.umr.edu (unix mail-YEACH!)| on a REAL Life is like a clock: You can work constantly, and be right | operating all the time, or not work at all, and be right twice a day. | system. :->
