- If you don't have a file compression utility that can transfer files
- betweem a Mac version and a Unix version, and you can then segment
- the file (I have never seen such a beast), your up the well known
- attributary without a means of propulsion.
-
- However, while the file is still in BinHex form, it is just a simple
- text file. Use a word processor or text editior to spit the file
- into 1.44Mb size chunks. Then you can save them to your floppy.
-
- Hope this helps!
