New StarTrek Mod???

gregebowman · #1 November 4th, 2003, 08:18 PM

I d/l the the ST mod here at work. Unfortunately, we don't have cd-r/w here. So I had to break the mod down into small enough chunks to put on a 3.5" disc. I did it, and I think I put everything back together the right way. I just haven't had the time to check it to see that I did.

Get WinRar, which can automatically make multi file archives of any size you want. No need to manually make them fit on disks, or worrying about missing files.

Fryon turned me on to this program a while back and I have to say that is a great program. Beats the hell out of Winzip.

I got WinRar, but I didn't know it could do that. I'll experiment with it and see if I can do that. Thanks

Just make a .rar archive and set a volume size in the "Split to volume, bytes" field. Check out the help files for more specifics. You can do things like say 1.38 mB, and it will create them in 1.38 mB chunks. Or, you can put 1.38 m, and it will make them in 1.38 million byte chunks (which is NOT the same as 1.38 mB; kB = 1024 B).

You have to have all parts when you extract later, but that should not be a problem.

It is the same as one big archive file, but just in several smaller parts.

Thanks for the info. I tried it on a components file I had laying around, and it worked perfectly. Now I'll try it some of the big files I"ve been wanting to d/l but didn't think I could take home.

I uploaded a 23 part archive of FQM D 2.07, and am working on the link page atm...
