filePro used to have a transfer program that worked via serial
ports.  You passed the names and then everything was moved
correctly to the right places in the new system.

I've run up to 4 parallel stream when moving a large FP application
from and old system into a AT&T 3B2 many many years ago.

You could also use something such as 'tar'.  Be aware that the SCO
version knows how to handle extensions that cross media boundaries,
while many other tars do not.

The work-around for split files is when you transfer the first
rename the destination file with something like a -part01 name,
otherwise the next section will over-write the first one.

When all the pieces parts are together for the large file - just
cat them all into one file.  eg   cat *01 *02 *03 > final-file-name
