Block is a multi-volume archive utilty intented to be used
with tar (and compress). With block you can split an archive 
too big to fit on one floppy to several floppies. 

Instructions for use are in the unix man-style file block.1.

The sources consist of one c-file block.c. Although the compilation
is straightforward a makefile is provided. 

The program was developed for Linux 0.96a, but it should be
trivial to port it to other systems if so desired. In this case
look at function volsize() for proper configuration for
your system. Also, you might want to use a different io buffer
size and so redefine IOBUFSIZE.
