The problem is that the W-95 machine has only a single floppy drive, and no USB ports, whereas this machine has no floppy drive, but does have USB ports.  Does anyone know if (or how) I can break the larger file into two parts so that each part will fit onto a floppy - then I can go to a third machine which has both a floppy drive and USB ports.  There I could then put the two sections back together (is that possible-?), transfer that larger file to a flash drive and then load it onto this machine using the USB ports.

If both machines have internet access, Zip the file, then e-mail it from 
the W95 to the XP.

You could also probably easily fit the zipped file onto a single floppy, 
take it to a 3rd machine with a floppy and CD burner, burn a cd and copy 
the file onto the xp from the CD.

You could also get a serial to serial cable, and upload the file that way.
