I have been having similar problems with the 2-floppy disk method on three 
computers.  One time I got 'divide overflow'.  I am still trying to get 
this to work.  For some people it works.  Try reformatting both disks 
before you use them but that may not help.

Steven had a different method of making the 2 floppy disks on an earlier 
version that worked fine for me.  Perhaps the new one just won't work on 
all hardware?  The older one would not work for some people.  I would 
appreciate if the other method could be posted as an alternate.  It 
reformats the second floppy disk to hold more data, whereas the newer 
method splits up the large file into two pieces and reassembles it.  
Something seems to be going wrong for me in the reassembly step.  In 
addition to the divide overflow, most of the time it simply does not seem 
to copy part2 of the divided file.
