	I have. I downloaded the SSIDemo released by Future Crew for the
	PCs at my highschool; well, there were 4 ZIP files, all 1.4MB a
	piece. Hmm. I had to fit all of these on 800k disks? I don't think
	so. I didn't even bother; ended up just hauling my 14.4 into school
	that day (damn thing is a 9.2MB EXE file; sheesh!). 

	I still have yet to see a utility on the GS which does do file split-
	ting. 'split' for unix is cool, but we'd need something which just
	takes a file, and cuts them into segments of your choice. From
	there, to put them back, you should just be able to append the files
	together in sequential order. There's a program on the PC which I
	was introduced to today called "SLICE" and the re-appender is called
	"SPLICE." Pretty cool, if I say so myself.
