If you can find a DOS or Windows tar, or use WinZip under Win95, you
can copy the files off and join them together with
C:\TEMP>COPY FILE.01+FILE.02+FILE.03 FILE.TAR
You could probably use "zipsplit", if you could work out how.
You can also tar directly to multiple floppies, and get more disk
space. There's a Mac program called "SunTar" that is compatible with
this method. I think it's something like:
% tar -Mcf /dev/fd0 inputfile ...
