Is there any chance of Moray being made downloadable as smaller files,
such as those availible from SoftTronics on 3.5 diskette? I would like
to use Moray at home on my computer, but don't have internet access. I
can't put the install file (2.6Mb) file on disk or the deccompressed
files as MorayWin.exe is 2Mb. Unless anyone has any further ideas?

Use Pkzip with the -& option to divide the files over multiple disks

If you are unable to download Moray, Softronics will mail disks when you
register. Just ask.

I find ARJ to be MUCH better when the file(s) to be compressed spans several
disks (it does a better job compressing files too)

simple example:

    arj a -va a:filename morayfilename.exe

You could also use Windows Commander (an EXCELLENT file-management tool),
which I believe have zip 'included' - also support for arj - lha - rar and
uc2- this tool is SO good you all ought to try it !! It is shareware though,
and have a 1 month trial period .

Good luck ! :-)

  Thanks very much. I managed to get WinZip to put it on two disks. It
didn't work originally as I hadn't seen the automatic disk spanning
checkbox and tried just compressing it down to <1.4Mb (which didn't work
of course).

i suggest you go ahead and download it as well as a program call winrar,
winrar is a compression program that can break it up to different files
sizes that will fit on a floppy eg moraywin.rar, moraywin.r01 etc. Don't
forget a copy of unrar on floppy too.
I heard Windows95 can copy across floppys..but i never tried it :)

Yup it can, but only if you have small files, if you have one big file it goes into a
continuous loop, always asking for a bigger disk....
