I'd just compress it first and then segment it afterwards. You can
compress the folder or file in the finder without too much trouble. To
break it into chunks I'd do that in terminal. Launch terminal and cd to
wherever the zip file is. If it was on your desktop you would do "cd
~/Desktop". Then you can do "split -b50m your_filename.zip" the 50m
means to split the source file into 50 megabyte chunks. Each chunk will
be named xaa xab xac etc. To put them all back together you use "cat x*
> your_filename.zip" Of course make sure you don't have any other files
in the same directory that start with X or they will be added to the
reconstituted file and probably ruin it.

Hi guys.
Well, the subject says it all, I think.
I need an application that will allow me to create compressed files and be able
to specify a certain file size.
For those of you who use windows something like winrar or similar.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Nektarios.
