How do you copy a file to floppy disks when it takes more than one disk to hold the file?
And Ken replied ...
Well, you could use Stuffit to segment the file to floppy size.
If abbreviated instructions bug you as much as me, what you do is ...
1) use Disk Copy to create your "floppy" disk image as you would do normally;
2) open your main Stuffit/Stuffit Deluxe folder, and inside of that your Stuffit Drag and Drop folder, and finally drag the DropSegment alias/application to your desktop (open it and make sure, under its Preferences, that Segment Size is set to High Density Disk (1400K);
3) drag and drop the file that you want to make into floppies over the desktop DropSegment icon;
4) and, presto! you'll see floppy-sized images on the desktop that you can drag-drop one-at-a-time into the disk image and burn into separate floppies.
You'll need to put the whole thing together again, when you're ready to reassemble the file. That's a lot simpler (you won't need to open Stuffit). Just open the floppy that has "Segment #1" and a dialog box will open that will take you through the next steps.
