I'm using an IBM PC in our office to copy via the net. I use Messy DOS to copy the file from the PC to the Amiga. While using NFT, I ran into a problem with a file that was larger than 730XXX blocks. This being greater than the floppy capacity. It finally failed with disk error or floppy full message. Is there a procedure for getting NFT to ask for another disk so as to continue the copy until the requested files have been transfered? Also what would be necessary to get ARC,zoo etc to recognize multiple volumes? MAG

The MS-DOS world solution to that problem is to break up
a large file into smaller pieces, and put them back together
at the destination. If you look elsewhere in the notes conference
you will find a reference to SPLIT. That will break up the
file on VMS, then you use the cli command JOIN on the Amiga
to put it back together.
I usually nft to the pc's harddisk and then use CHOP on the
files >720K. Saves on having to translate VMS blocks into
bytes to determine if a file is too big. I got the CHOP program
from comp.binaries.ibm.pc a long time ago, it should be somewhere
in one of the enet ibmpc directories, probably on WINNAH::
If you can't find it, send me mail, we can work out some way
for you to get it.
