I faced a similar delema as I only have e-mail at home and thus I had to
grab the files while I was in school.  At school we have had a shareware
utility called "ARCHIVE SIZER" (AS.EXE) that will let you split large
archive files into fragments that will fit on a specified disk size. 
When you need the files in one piece, you just use it to reassemble the
pieces back to normal.  *8-)

If you can't find it, I can UUENCODE it to you if you want.....
(Note:  My e-mail system does not yet support attaches....)


Hope this helps....
