here's somethign you could try - with one floppy:
run two copies of rar (or ace) simultaneously on both computers, and span
the file you want to transfer across multiple disks. after the first disk
is done, start unraring it on the destination computer, then take that disk
back to the original computer, wipe it, and start the 'second' disk of the
multiple disk archive... and repeat... and so on et c.
note: this will not work with Zip / WinZip, as it stores the file names in
the last part of the archive - you will need the last disk before you can
start decompressing...
hope this helps!
