- I got a program called SLICE from a friend of mine. It has a copyright related
- to PC Magazine (Ziff Communications). It splits a file onto floppies
- according to the size of the disk. (You can use a mix of different sizes.)
- It puts a program called SPLICE on the first floppy which has the file name
- embedded in it. If you have trouble locating it, Email me.
