Re: ZIP 250MB

OK, how do i "span" it? Or how do i split the files after zipping them?
t.cruise i have a cd writer but no cd-rw's so sometimes when you want to
transfer a 300mb file its more useful to use a zip drive since i have one and
cannot sell it anywhere for a reasonable price and not sure if you know but
every cd writer and dvd writer has a certain amount of dvd's/cd's itll burn
and then eventually stop burning, most are around 500 or 1000 burns. That
makes a zip drive a lil more worthwhile doesn't it?lol
