Hello Ted, hello List,
Sounds like a horrible problem, I remember transferring megabytes (about 12 or 13, lol) over by floppy disc aaaages ago.
For your problem, I'm tempted to recommend hjsplit.exe- At any rate HJSplit runs nicely under Wine. But I've just discovered, from getting the link for you, there's a Linux alternative for it anyway! Hooray!! And at least you'll know you have a Windows version to piece the bits back together at the other end. Looks like you can split it down into 1.4mb pieces and all, which'll make the process slightly quicker than 1mb bits! :)

Hope it works out for you.

Hi Folks,
A bit one foot in each camp this time.
I have a large file to transfer from a Linux machine to a Win98 machine, and for practical reasons only able to use floppies.
On Linux,
split -C 1m
nicely produces 1MB size chunks that fit on floppies and can then be read into the win98 machine. Done. So far so good.
But -- what's the way to paste the bits together again on Windows?
On Linux there's a choice of ways! But Windows??
Thanks
