AFAIK, none of the windows archiving utilities are worth a **!\. All
you need is a dos/windows equivalent of the unix split program, but I am
sorry, I can't find one. Unix cat * will put the thing together for you
no worry, but I don't know how to split it in dos. If you are still
desperate by the time you answer this, I can probably find the source
for split, and cross-compile it with tasm in dosemu, and mail you a
uuencoded binary. It'll fit on a floppy without beiing split, or I'm
Atilla the Hun.
