DOS' COPY command (not XCOPY) can join split binaries, but it won't select all files to be joined automatically. You must specify them on the command line, or with a simple batch script. PKZIP can store files, i.e., no compression, and split. So, if you've already compressed them with your compressor, storing without compression with an existing archiver, like PKZIP or TAR or maybe even 7ZIP or BZIP2, might be an option. I already mentioned this, but most archivers can split to media sizes, like floppy disk capacities, etc. Rod Pemberton
