- Three alternatives:
- ARJ
- GNU tar (& gzip)
- split / join
-
- I myself prefer GNU tar as it can be found for every machine
- that I have encountered (STs, unix, Amiga, DOS...).
-
- As tar stores the files as a stream (ie. has no 'directory' on the
- archive itself) it can't recover files from partly corrupt archives
- though. Normally that shouldn't matter though :).
