The current release is packaged to fit on 1.2MB floppies.  If there is some
reason why you need an old release, your options include:
  1. Use DOS backup and restore
  2. Use the multi-volume capabilities of PKZIP or ARJ.
  3. Unpack the ZIP file and repack it in smaller pieces.
  4. Use a serial or parallel port transfer program.
  5. Use a file splitting utility.  A partial list of ones at SimTel:
