Because some HTML Editors do not createseparate files. The HTML code and all files associated withthe page are included in one large file. Even aftercompressing into an archive file (.zip, .rar, .arc, etc.),the file is still too large.This may help in these cases.File Splitter:This splits files into pieces so they can be moved ontofloppy disks between systems.
