After capturing all the articles for fraint16.zoo and doing the
usual uudecode, I started to reconfigure the *.zoo file into
a couple of ZOO files.  As I only have an XT with 360k floppies
at home, I usually download large file from the UNIX host to a
PC over our LAN. The direct connection makes it many times faster
than a 1200/2400 transfer over the phone lines.  However,
FRACTINT.EXE results in a 470K file.  How can that fit on a 360k disk?


Does anyone know how to split an ".exe" into  two parts and get it back
together on a PC so it can be executed.  Another thought, how can
DOS load such a large executable?  Must I have extended memory just to
load this thing?  I only have 500+ K in the transient area.

(too bad MS_DOS 5 isn't a virtual operating system, it sure would relieve
a lot of agrivation.)
