But you can split a large file into several floppies and then stitch
them back together again by using 'cat', and 'tail' along with 'cp'.

That sounds suspicious. Hmmm. Are you sure that the permissions *and*
the ownership were set properly for *you* to execute it? After all, a
text file is just a text file. The only variation would be CR/LF line
endings. In fact, the .txt extension should be no barrier to running a
