How to zip a 10MB exe file to Floppy?

[Dusting_Boy]

Please help.

How can I zip a single 10MB exe file to the Floppy disks? Any methods or suggestion?
My modem at home is broke and I can't do that from xtgold program.

Thanks bunches.

One way to do it is to download yourself a copy of Winzip and use the multiple disk spanning feature. It works quite well. I have done files that size with no worries.

Hope this is of some help.

There are also serveral other programs like WinARJ and WinRAR (my favorite) to compress and partition files so they'll fit on a floppy. www.rarsoft.com
I have an old version, but the new one probably does the same.

WinRar is a good program and easy to use.

Hey guys,

It's worked great, thank you all a whole bunch.

You can do that in XTgold D.B.
Tag then Ctrl+ F5, select options.

DB:

don't forget to point your zip file
to drive A and
put a diskette on it
in order for the Volume option
to appear!

Goodluck!

Ofcourse all these solutions work .. but the best i've come across is this shareware names "AxMan". Its a really cool program which lets you chop a file into as many parts as you want & then conveniently transfer to a floppy or through email or whatever.
You should easily find it at major DL sites like www.tucows.com or www.download.com etc.
Just go to any of these sites & search for "Axman". Or you can DL it directly from
