Hi Caroline,

If you can get Slice 32, it might be good to have available for those
files too large for email attachements.

DESCRIPTION:
The size of program and data files doesn't usually matter, but if you
need to
move these files from one machine to another, size can become a huge
obstacle.
If machines aren't networked, the only way to transport them is
through "sneaker
net", which means the files must fit on removable media like floppy or
zip
disks. Smaller files are also preferable for online distribution
because of data
errors and lost connections. Slice32 lets you slice files into
manageable pieces
for easy transport and distribution. This utility is an update to the
PC
Magazine utility Slice, first published May 16, 1989.
