Why don't you just tell us here what you want to do.  It would be much easier than seeing the below response all the time.

I'm not going to track down your other posts to get a feel for your problem.

I'm thinking he has a game he wants to split into smaller files he can burn to a CD...
I'm also predicting failure...

However...carry on...

no,
I have a old NEC VERSA laptop and t's running win 95. Anyways i have some old DOS games on my win 98 and i wanted to copy files to the laptop. But since it has no cd rom player i have to use floppys and i got a few games on it like, prince of persia, maro, pacman. I copied all files on a floppy for the GAmes DOOm util there was one left. Even with an empty floppy this file is to big. It's 4mb. I wanted to know is there some way i could split this file so i can transfer it through floppy?

You cannot simply copy game program files and move them to another machine and expect them to work...
This is by design.

Do both computers have internet access? You could email the file, I often transfer files between computers like that.

I told you WinZip has spanning capability.  I used to use this all the time, so I know it works.

well, some oldish Windows games don't need to be installed either. I have a bunch of them myself.
