Hi balentinei:

I have used FileSplit with good success.
Download it free from http://www.aboutlyrics.com/Softwar [...] eSplit.php

That's true but it's one program, and they call it msbackup.exe.

It's in program files, accessories, backup.

It has the advantage that it stores on each disk the amount that disk
can hold. If defects have left you with less than 1.4 megs on some of
your floppies, the others will demand a different floppy. This one
will just fill the disk and maybe you'll need more disks when you're
done.

It has the other advantage that no software is needed at the other end
to install the large file. No zip program, for example, just DOS
commands.
