Now I'm curious too, because I know that zip is on the system, and the man page says it's compatible with pkzip, but I don't see the && option listed, which, in DOS, does just what the original poster wants.
The option to split zip archives at a fixed exact point is missing in info-zip (which is the version of zip included in Linux). It is possible, though, to break them at file boundaries: meaning, of course, it can not split a single file larger than the requested size. Very unfortunate :-( On another note... I'm nicely surprised as to the number of people knowing how to concatenate files in dos (I had to use the trick last month). I wonder how many "windows" people know it :-p (I became to love linux at first because its console had what I had always wanted in ms-dos, and knew I would never have. I guess I'm not the only one)
OTOH, I'm not sure _anyone_ has permission to write to a floppy in 9.1 ;-)
