not that this is much better, but could you use winzip to zip the file up on multiple floppies (waiting patiently while it tries to further compress a compressed archive - be nice if there  was a tar utility for windows...), then use unzip in linux to get the file off the floppies? It would at least eliminate the recombine in windows and burn to cd steps.
