Im new, so can't help under openbsd but if the notebook is still 
running MS-DOS, arj is your friend:

arj a archive-name -v1440 
packs all files in the directory into 1.44 packages with:
                          1. archive-name.arj
                          2. archive-name.001
                           ...
                          n. archive-name.00(n-1)
unpacking by:
arj x archive-name.arj

Say 'y' (yes) when asked to unpack the next package.
