Winzip help needed

[tanhb]

Any idea how to zip a big file into a diskette?

Please help me.

As far as I know one of the latest (5 months old ?) version
can support disk spanning, that is it will ask you to insert
next disk and next..... until all your files are safely
zipped.
Click New then create a new zip filename at A:\ drive, and
follow the instructions.........

Mac.

First.. thanx to wombat and calvin for helping me regarding this in irc.

Copied:

WinZip makes it easy to create Zip files that "span" multiple disks.
This is useful if the files you are working with will not fit on one
disk.

To make a Zip file that spans multiple disks, simply create a Zip file
on a removable disk, then add files to the Zip as you normally would.
If the disk fills during Add operation, you will be prompted for another
disk. Simply insert the next disk and click the OK button.

Important: disk spanning is not available when adding files to an
existing archive; it is only available while creating a new archive.
Also note that you cannot add or remove files from a Zip file that spans
disks. WinZip requires pre-formatted disks (you can format disks using
the Windows Explorer or File Manager)

Example:

To zip the files in your c:\data folder to a Zip file called
A:\DATA.ZIP:

1) Start WinZip

2) Drag and drop the c:\data folder from the Explorer or File Manager to
the WinZip window

3) In the Drop dialog box, type the filename of the Zip file
(A:\DATA.ZIP)

4) Click the Add button

If more than one disk is needed, you will be prompted for additional
disks.
