How do I segment files in ZipIt?

It is particularly important that you have the latest version of ZipIt before continuing.

In order to create a multi-segment archive:

  1. Create the archive as usual, by adding files.
  2. Choose Set Segment Size from the Zip menu and set the segment size to the appropriate size.
  3. Choose Save from the File menu.
  4. ZipIt will tell you to insert new segments when necessary.

    Important: In order to maintain compatibility with PKUnzip, each segment must have the same filename.

One other thing you should note: PKUnzip may require that each disk be named PKBACK# XXX, where XXX is the number of the disk, starting at 001.

In order to unzip a multi-segment archive, simply open the last segment in ZipIt and proceed as usual. ZipIt will ask you for the intermediate segments when necessary.
