Warez
cut into 1.44
meg chunks to
fit conveniently on 3½"
floppy disks and account for poor
modem speeds. This
format was
popular in the
BBS days when floppies were still a useful
storage medium and 28.8 was blazing
fast. The floppy
warez style became
unpopular when
gamez and
appz started spanning more than
47 disks.
These are some
programs used to
span disks:
PKZIP.EXE -ex -&fv
SUNDER.EXE
ARJ.EXE
