Hi,
I need to compress some windows files and send them in e-mail. Some
photos, docs. Most e-mail have a limit of 10MB so i want to compress
them to upto 10MB files. Is there a simple way to do this or a batch
way. Does it have some thing like gzip. I did a 'send to compressed
(zipped) folder' but i think it just combined the files and did not
compress. thanks for help.

Winrar is a good way to go about this. There are some spanning
commands. In terms of email automatically, that's a little beyond me
at the moment.

www.rarlabs.com

rar
v<size>[k,b] Create volumes with size=<size>*1000 [*1024, *1]

If you need a custom utility written, you can contact me, I'll write
it for you (for a fee). Would take me about 1/2 hour.

If you've already got all the "little" files in a single big ZIP or RAR file, you
may want to just split it into smaller chunks and send them as separate
messages, and have them "reassembled" at the other end.

There's hundreds of "split and join" utilities out there, here's an old DOS
one I occasionally use: http://www.filegate.net/utiln/utilnet/SPLITV10.ZIP

hello,

you can use winrar to split your files, with 10mb each.
