I think WinZip has the ability to compress to multiple "volumes" (meaning disks to you and me). I think it will ask for the size per volume, and then you select 1.44MB

Actually, I find the easiest way is to use punch-cards. Make ya punch-cards (takes a few hours), put them in a box all neatly in order, carry them home, trip and spill the lot, spend another five hours sorting them all out, putting into the box again, loading them into the punch-card machine, spending the next few hours unjamming the machine every 15 cards, then trying the file and realising that card number 5346 was in the wrong spot and have to start ALL over again. 
Anyone remember doing assignments at uni like this for IT courses?

Oh yeah, remember it well. My first Assembler class in the mid 70's. The computer lab was a big room with about 25 keypunch machines. Didn't have a problem with Assembler but just about changed majors so I didn't have to keep dealing with those stupid keypunch machines.
Can't tell you how many conversations we had about how nice it would be when technology lets us key straight into the mainframe terminal.
And then there was the far-out conversations about how nice it would be to have a self-contained "Personal Computer" if you will, that would let us do all this somewhere comfortable like our homes.

Ah yes, the bad old days. I started on Holerith cards as well, but luckily I didn't have to actually punch them. The machine I used was optical, so I could use a #2 pencil to fill in the bubbles rather than punch them out. The largest program I wrote was only 5 cards, and then I got a personal computer with a keyboard. Of course that keyboard was caps only, and it didn't have a floppy drive, I had to use casette tape..... Wow, I really like my hard drive.

How this relates to CTP2 I have no idea, but the memories are fond.
