Stu,

If you want to split the file over two (or several) disks, StuffIt has
an option to do just this (I've used it often on some LARGE database 
data files, and have never experienced corruption).  That should make
it easy to get the thing into a manageable form for either email or
diskmail.  There are other utilities on the market which do the same
thing, but they're not as standard as StuffIt.

Hope this helps!
