Using 7z to do the multipart might be a bit more graceful.

Use the -v option (v is for volume) -v100m will split the archive into chunks of 100MB.

7z -v option supports b k m g (bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes)

Example: 7z -v100m a my_zip.7z my_folder/

moin moin,

The split utility does a binary hatchet job to files.

Generally, you can cat them together ( or you could when I last used split
some time ago ).

cat foo.7z.001 foo.7z.002 >foo.7z

Then do whatever you do with 7zip files. Is that one zip per layer in the
OSI model? :)

ciao,
