Spanning 6GB file ...software suggestions?

Trying to span a Virtual Machine file that is 6GB to 2 DVD-Rs ... any suggestions on which software to go with to split/span and reassemble back to 1 file?

    Use 7zip and select the option to have the file split into x size. I always hit the dropdown box and hit cdr (700mb) then change the number to the mb of a file I want to split it into. Also this program will compress the files so they will be smaller. Good luck.

    HJSplit is the old favourite.
    Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.
