    Tech Question about module downloads

    Ok here's the deal. I recently came across a site that I could download some of those hard to find WoG modules. Unfortunately some of them are above 10mb so I can't attach them to my email and send them to my job so that I can print them out. So is there anyway to cut a PDF file in half? I'm not all that fond of computers anyways so this is driving me nuts as it is. I was glad to come across these as they cost an arm and a leg to buy, now I need to print them out. Thanks all.

    I believe there is a progam named "WinSplit" that is capable of doing the task you are inquiring about.

    Buy a JumpDrive

    Hi all-
    I have lots of things in Word and PDF that are too big for email. Although you could always just download the information from work. Or next you could go out and buy a jumpdrive - one of them portable drives. Heck even MP3 Players can hold data. I've got a 512MB USB Drive that I carry lots of neat D&D crap on...I'm always with my books.

    Maraudar,

    What is the site you found the old modules on? I am curious because I want to track down some oldies but goodies, as well. I use svgames.com.

    Thanks,

    Maraudar:

    I, just like TheocratIssak, carry around a USB memory stick. That's a quick solution for you to download at one location and take to another.

    I appreciate all the help everyone. I would use the stick but unfortunately the comp I use at my part time work is a Sun Micro Java abomonation<SP?> Mad . So I've been hunting a java based file splitter that I can figure out how to use.
