File Size Calc 4 CD

Hi PPL:
I have a huge amount of CD's I have to carry around in my car and I want to cut it down as much as possible. What I have done is in a ListView I have listed the program name in col 1 and its size in MB in the second. What I want to now do is have my program calculate which programs can be shorted and will add up as close to 700MB to fill a CD.

So basiclly I have a list of apps and the file size for that app. I need some code which will write in col 3 which CD that app should go onto. IE 1,2,3 so that it will total up to 700MB or around 700MB. Bottom line I want to get as much as I can on each CD...

why dont you tack on some more points because what you are asking for is custom code and that takes time.

How many do you want in total?
I should also mention that I do need to be able to save & load this information to file. A TXT file will do. I have used a sample below:

Icon Edit Pro|1.37|
WinZip|2.97|


Please Note: After the last | this is the location of the CD number once the user has calculated the information.

Also note the save and load function must use a dialog box.
