Re: ZIP 250MB

I managed to split it but now i can't use it again, when i try to open the
first part of the file of the file and then they ask for part 1 of the
archive, i have given location of part 1 and 2 and seen but both seem to give
me an error, any idea how to make it work?
Btw David could you tell me how to span it as well please.
Thanks for the help
