Try 7zip. It has great compression and it works on Linux and Windows and it's LGPL, so the code that can read that format will always be here... Even elevendy million years from now. You can use the -v (volume) argument to split things according to a given max size. I believe that the volume boundary breaks off on a file boundary. http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
