I have loaded some items down to my NT machine and now need to ship them to my LINUX box. However they are too big to fit on a floppy. Anyone got any ideas of a utility I can use to compress on NT and uncompress on LINUX?
------------------------------------------------------- Pc magazine has a utility called 'slice' which will split a file between multiple floppies. It creates a utility on the first diskette of the set called 'splice' which re-creates the file. You can use the tail command, along with the '>>' operator to concatinate the pieces together into one file. The trick is that the first 16 bytes of the file are used to keep track of putting the diskettes back together into one file, the rest of the file is the data. Both the source and binary are available from pcmagazine's web site and, I think, the license on this may be 'free' enough to port and package this program for debian. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
