@foone You are bringing back memories of why every zip program has a feature to split the final file into 1.44 MB chunks. I haven't had to use one of those in YEARS

@foone remember those cassette to CD player back in the day before cars had CD players? Make a floppy disk to USB drive version, what could go wrong?

@foone Such a brilliant program. I used it so much back when, I paid for a registration when I even started using it at work.

It had the most bonkers conversion capabilities. Do you need a plaintext file converted into a PNG? No, no one needs that. But IrfanView is happy to do it.

@foone zip it across multiple disks!

@RueNahcMohr sadly the support for multi-volume zip archives is sorely lacking in modern zip archivers

@foone WTF. Can I please offer you a copy of pkzip?

foone OP , vor 2 Monaten

@RueNahcMohr I actually own a copy. Like, paid for and everything!

I'm just not sure where it is, or if it'll work on windows 10

@foone ACDSee was so much better back then. It is also floppy sized.

@foone can you zstd it? Or would it still be too big

foone OP , vor 2 Monaten

@12 I'd need to have a zstd uncompressor for windows 95!

@foone cursed idea: local windows 95 app that calls out to a remote server to do zstd complression/decompression and sends either the compressed byte stream or the uncompressed file back to be written to disk

foone OP , vor 2 Monaten

@12 well if I had a way to access remote servers I wouldn't need to stick files on floppy disks, so... :)
