You may find this page useful if you haven't got a portable computer, memory stick, or fast connection at home, but do have a fast connection at the office. The site is not certain how many office PC's have a CD-R drive, but in the meantime this program is some way into an answer:
The
program will split large files into 1.4 Mbyte pieces named 'split00a' to 'split00z', if need be, so that they can be copied to floppy discs. At the destination, the join program will reassemble the entire file, provided the former is placed in the same directory as the 'split' files. There are many similar programs of course, though this includes the source code, which is very short.
If you, or your recipient, has a free email account, chances are there will be a limit on attachment files, maybe 2 Mbytes. You can specify sizes from 1 to 9 Mbytes for the split files, apart from the default of 1.4 for floppy discs, so that you can email large files. (For example, typing
split /2 somefile shall choose 2Mb chunks.) Also, you will want to send the recipient the join program, too, and tell them to run it in the same directory as the 'split' files they have downloaded. There is a 8.3 convention for filenames.
Of course, floppy discs are rather slow and inconvenient- but you can't have your cake and eat it.
