We have discovered a user who was combining a ZIP file with a JPG using the old DOS command XCOPY. &nbsp;The finished product appears on the surface to be the original ZIP file, but it is large enough to contain the combined ZIP file as well. &nbsp;Once you have combined two files into one with XCOPY, how do you go about splitting them in two again?<br />

Thanks!

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
