I NEED to copy all the files in a directory on my hard drive to floppies. At least on of the databases is too large to fit on one floppy, even after I have compressed it. When I USE either the copy or the xcopy command, I get the message "Insufficient disk SPACE". What do I need to do?Download a program CALLED a file splitter, or use Winzip to compress and span across several floppies. Be sure to label the the floppies properly.Exactly how do I span across several floppies?Exactly how do I span across several floppies?Use WinZip and it will automatically keep asking you for floppies until all the file(s) is/are zipped across multiple floppies. Note the disk sequence as you zip them otherwise you won't be able to Unzip.

If you really are running standalone Dos you may have to use PKZip instead of WinZip. PKZip can be initiated from the command prompt (it's an exe file) but you must enter the CORRECT syntax for spanning floppies. Best use WinZip in your Windows OS if you can.
