    I remember copying a game onto floppies from DOS, but I can no longer remember the command that tells it to split the file onto multiple disks because it’s too big for 2.88 MB

      It was called spanning and was usually done with a third party utility like xcopy or pkzip, but I am pretty sure MS backup did it as well. I don’t think you could do it with DOS copy command through v6.22.
