Re-reading your post, I answered the inverse of your question
the first time.  I now presume you have a single big file which
you want to make into many small files (each to fit on a floppy).

try this Unix/Linux command:

split -b 1440000 bigfile

which will make as many as necessary 1,440,000 byte smaller files
named:  xaa, xab, xac ....

the last file will probably be shorter.

Hope this helps
