Help Req: splitting compress.exe files over multiple disks
: Help...
: Compress.exe is all very well, but if your writing a custom
: setup app and you have, say, a 10 Meg file to intstall from
: floppies, how are you supposed to get compress it into 1.4
: Meg chunks.
: Alternatively, SetupWiz splits a compressed file ... How do
: you do it manually?
Manually (i.e. with code): open the file for Binary, and do
repetitive Get and Put of chunks (16K is a good size for the chunks)
and then close the input and output files.
Look inside the SETUP1 project in the Setupkit directory for a DLL call
to find out how much free space is on the diskettes.
