ml>> i'm assuming that you're saying you have a *.MO1
ml>> that's 4MEG in size that is full of PKTs, right???
SQ> Right!
ok!
SQ>>> I'd like to break it up into disk-sized chunks.
ml>> disk-sized?? floppy disk??
SQ> Oh, a sad day it is when we no longer think of "disk" as
SQ> "floppy." <g>
<<GG>> had to make sure... hate to ass-u-me things 8-0
ml>> well, shouldn't matter, really as you can extract the PKTs and

other than wanting to break the _bundle_ into smaller pieces, i still don't
know what the overall problem is that you're attempting to address...
ml>> well, if you run 4DOS or such,
SQ> I don't.
uggg... how do you run your system, then?? hahahaha... if it wasn't for
4dos/4os2, my stuff would just stare at me and everyone else with its single
unblinking eye... some of what i used to do with .bat file majik is built in or
at least infinitely easier with 4dos/4os2... this is also probably one of the
major reasons why i haven't moved this setup to winwhatever... i don't even
want to think about what i'd have to do to get it running on linux... might not
be as bad as it could be if dosemu is what i think it is OB-)

true but at that time, i don't think it was... might have been but it was way
too capable/involved for my needs... just archiving my logs (only two lines in
a .BAT file for the rename and the pkzip command) into one huge archive is
enough for me... that is, until i decide that i want to keep them and get them
off onto floppies <<GG>> but, i've already gone too far 'this year' because i
didn't move the huge archive and files inside it from last year have already
been replaced with this years files... i just hope that i don't need any of my
old netmail that's been purged from the netmail area to text log with my
NMPurge program... s'ok, though... an archive covering a year should be ok for
the most part...
ml>> hopeing i've not misunderstood something...
SQ> You did good, and thanks for the note!
not a problem... hope you got yours taken care of...
