- Another possibility is to use Splitz&Joinz. These come with the ADPro-package
- as executables for Amiga, MS-DOS, Windows and Mac. You can split large files/
- archives on any of these computers and join them together on any other.
- Works quite well and you can easily transfer the executables via MS-DOS
- formatted disks using CrossDOS or MessyDOS or whatever on the Amiga and
- Access-PC or something similar on the Mac (no need for those utilities on
- MS-DOS/Windows). I only tested Amiga to Mac and vice versa and had no problems
- at all.
- But ... you need to buy ADPro.
