I understand DOS copy has the same limitation, but we have customers that create multi-megabyte files then want to transfer by diskette to a DOS machine. Is there any public domain utilities that can handle this?  Maybe a DOS version of cpio perhaps. 

  If you copy your file to the hard disk of a DOS machine you can used
SLICE to hack it onto a limitless number of floppies. SLICE automatically
creates a program called SPLICE.COM which when run on a DOS machine
recreates the original file.

If what you need is a UNIX utility that does the same thing, I could try to
port it for you.  It should be a simple thing to do.
