418244 2006-01-04 19:31:00 You do it from within Winzip itself - either zip into different segments or zip especially to fit a certain size. Greg (193)

If not, just use a zip compressor on the .zip file to produce a spanned version. Compression tools don't care what sort of data they are working on. At the worst there is a slight increase of size, but mostly they recognise input which can't be compressed and just produce a copy in the archive file. ;) Graham L (2)
