From the same place you got zip and unzip, you should have gotten zipsplit. 
Download bnu281b.zip to your harddrive.  Then type
 
  zipsplit -n $((1423*1024)) bnu281b.zip
or
  zipsplit -n 1457152 bnu281b.zip

you will fin some new files bnu*N.zip where the N are integers, and each of
which will fit on a 1.44 floppy
