Multiple [Stand-alone] zip files creation?

Question

How can I automatically zip a group of files into multiple zip files (say, 2mb in size for each file), and that each zip file is a stand-alone zip file? (i.e. not mult-volume zip files, that you can't lost any one of the files, otherwise you can't unzip)

Is there any tools available to do so? Actually I just need to group the files into many groups, 2mb each etc, zipped or not zipped doesn't matter

thx!

Answer 1

You might consider putting your files in a zip archive then using Adsen File Splitter.

Edit:

Now that I think about it this probably isn't what you wanted... I leave it up anyway.

Answer 2

One technique is to create a zip file containing everything, then use the zipsplit command (part of the free/open Info-ZIP software) to split it up into appropriately sized chunks with the -n option.

That link goes to a Mac OS X manpage, but Info-ZIP's software runs on pretty much all hardware/OS combinations available since the 80s.
