I usually just tar up the bunch of files that I want to archive, and then use split (ie, split -b1423k inputfilename outputfilenameprefix). To reassemble, just do a "cat outputfilenameprefix* > inputfilename", and run "tar -xf inputfilename". I wouldn't mind finding out a better way that can be used with other OS' (including DOS and DOS-descended OS'). -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
