    Re: zip file

    Hmmm, 30mb after zipping? You may have to consider span zipping if WinZip allows that (look at your help files and command line help on WinZip.com). Spanning would allow you to break the file into multiple zips and WinZip would know to put them back together again during the unzip process.

    Just some ideas, thinking out loud. Whichever method you end up using (except the first one below), you are most likely looking at sending multiple emails.

    Other than that, you might be able to use another site to host the zip file and upload/download it from there.

    Yet another option could be to create your own file splitter. Zip the 30mb file, then using an app you create, split it into say 10mb separate files and email them. This does mean that the receiver of your email would need the same app to put them back together again before unzipping the combined file.

    And possibly one more option is to look into Window's Cabinent builder/extractor. Here's a link that briefly discusses it and you should be able to find examples by searching forums like this one and googling.
