Splitting binary files for burning EPROMs...

Ethan,

   I've done this in Wordstar in the non-document mode. MANY years ago I
had to transfer a 10 Mb file to a customer's computer in Canada using only
360K disks. I loaded the file into Wordstar (it will work on files larger
than it's memory) and cut it into ~330K blocks and saved each one to a
disk. When I got to Canada I simply copied and concatenated the files (copy
file1+file2+file bigfile). It worked perfectly.
