Well, about the easiest way I know of with standard unix tools would be
to run split(1) over your file, like:
split -b 1.4m myfile
That should create three files, xaa xab and xac
Copy them to floppies, then at the other end, copy them back off and run
something like
cat xa? > myfile
to join them back together.
freshmeat will probably have some archiving tools to do it, but you lose
portability..
