You MIGHT want to try unstuffing the .zip file on the
Mac. You won't be able to run it, but with some of
these (esp. .exe files) I've seen them get "zipped"
and it turns out larger than the original .exe file
(won't compress much, then gets the .zip information
piled on top of it, making the file size larger.)
Alternately, you may see a readme, or multiple files
in here, that could be transferred via one or two
disks.



if the zip drive is a scsi device or if it is USB and
the PC is
running Win98 or later then you should not need the
driver, it should
just recognise the drive when you plug it in (you may
need to re-boot
the PC for it to be seen). you will need to format the
disks as PC
(dos) disks as the PC cannot read Mac disks without
3rd party
software. (MacDisk etc).

Win98 and USB, I hope - it's the easiest setup, though
it will still ask for a driver. IIRC, the SCSI version
on a PC was rather a pain. It's been a few years,
though - and yes, the exact same drive works perfectly
on the mac. (I've had it hooked up to a Q700 and a
PMac 7200.)

I was going to say "1.43 Mb should just *barely* fit,
but I forgot the Mac puts the "resource" file (you'll
see it if you have hidden files set to show on the PC)
on the floppy, and it will just barely make it *not*
fit. :P
