I have made a program that does this; it is called BUP/UNBUP.
I have already sent it to Daniel Schneider, and I can give it to you
if you ask via email.

BUP splits a large file onto floppies. Files are named 'filename.1',
'filename.2' and so on. The original extension is automatically restored.
BUP uses the available space on each floppy (that is, the disk do not need
to be entirely blank). You must, however, ensure that you have enough space
before you start BUP'ing.

I have planned to make a new version soon (this is BUP version 2.2).
Comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
