I have tried downloading MPLAB and have followed some of the problems
        you people have encountered. The only apparent problem I have, is the si
ze
        of the zipped file. Its 1.9Meg I would like to divide it up into
        two files so I can put them on floppies, and then install them at home.
        Anyone know how this could be done in Unix or suggest an alternative.
        Downloading it from the net at home would take forever. Does microchip
        offer this software of floppies, who can I call to get a copy on disks?

Hi;

You can write a simple program in c to read the file and divide it into
two pieces (just read and update a counter until you hit 1.4M, then switch
output to  another file). At home, use "copy /b file1+file2" (assuming DOS)
or you could probably "cat >>" them if you use a UNIX variant...

Hope this helps...
