Have you considered compression schemes that also split files across floppies? &nbsp;DynaZIP by Inner Media, Inc. (<a href="http://www.innermedia.com" rel="ugc">http://www.innermedia.com</a>) is a VCL/OCX that can compress to/extract from PKZIP 2.04G format and can span floppies. &nbsp;I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but it is a relatively painless way to program it (it does cost $299 to<br />
by the 32-bit version, or $249 to buy the 16-bit one).<br />

Yes, but not quite what I'm after. <br />
Does this mean 'spanning' is not that easy?<br />

If you are still intersted in software that will automate this process for you, I found something when I was attempting to span a file over multiple disketts myself. &nbsp;Let me know if you would be intersted. &nbsp;I can try and find the site i downloaded it from of just send you the files.<br />

I've an application that backs up its data files (Paradox 5.0) to disk. Some of the files are now larger than a 1.44Mb floppy, so I need to split them and splice them together again if a restore is required<br />
Is this a simple procedure, and if so, could you point me in the right direction.
