Well, the 5/85 Software Supplement contains a program called DivJoin
that will split the *DATA* fork of a file into pieces that will fit
onto individual diskettes.  The program is very simple (eg., it does
not prompt you for the diskettes, so you need to have enough room on
your hard disk to store 2 copies of the file).  This is a slightly
later version of the program that was distributed with the Smalltalk
release.

I have posted the program to net.sources.mac. Let me know if you have
any problems.
