Hi, sorry thanks for your info about splitting files. I solved the problem 
with split,
but your post gave me something I didn't know; I'll try it next time. Thanks.

But when I checked the man page for tar, it doesn't contain an -M option.
This is the OpenBSD tar manual below, but I don't expect tar to be so
different among Unices.  Is the -M option a standard feature in tars?
