Hello,

I'm in the situation where I have to port large binary files to my system at 
home by physically carrying the stuff home on floppy disk via MSDOS. Since 
these files are often quite large (5-8 Mbyte), I run uuencode on the binary 
file and then cut the resulting text file into chunks that will fit onto a 
floppy disk.

Does anyone have a program that will do this function, so that I could, for
example, enter:

     uuencode binary_filename | <program> text_filename

and program will create as many text files with the root name of text_filename
as are required? I thought I'd ask first before writing such a program myself!

Thanks,

- Paul
