In search of freeware DOS file splitter.

[BobLondonKy]

Hello,

I have an older computer that has DOD 6.22 on it. I need a freeware file
splitter that would work in DOS. I have some large files that I would like
to try and put on this thing, but it does not have a CD. It has a 3.5
floppy drive though. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Oops! It used to be there! Probably removed because it's a PCMag utility.

Downloaded a treat, thankyou ) (pity it's a PCM utility or I'd have added
it to the library).

If you are using floppies to transfer the large files then why not use
PKZip, and set it to span diskettes ?

Thanks to all who responded. I've downloaded a few to try. I am
considering windows 95 for this machine. It has DOS 6.22 on it, and a 5.5
meg hard drive. No CD ROM. So need to copy the Windows CD to 3.5 floppy.
I would imagine that to be a mess of floppies.

Thanks for all the help.

5.5MB HD????????, hope that was a typo <g>

As for W95, it's approx 15 floppies (give or take)

Either it is a typo or it won't work. Even if the HD had 55 MByte it
would be a not easy to set up. You can not copy the floppies to disk
because Win9x makes a temporary install folder anyway itself. Even
the first non-beta of Win95 used 35 MByte for a typical installation.

Less than about 25 MByte were not possible without changing the
installation scripts, IIRC. That's why you need at least ~50 MByte
*free hard-disk space* for a successful installation. I'm not sure,
but if I remember correctly the update of an existing Win3.x used a
bit *less free* space. (Caused by an optimized setup and the deletion
of parts of the old OS.)

That's why: if you'd copy the installation disk to HD you'd be stuck
on a 55 MByte drive, anyway.

Typo Starts Here.

It has DOS 6.22 on it, and a 5.5 meg hard drive.

Eh em, I meant to type 550MB. Big difference.
