DOS compressing mulitiple disks

| Hello experts,
I relly like to use winrar and rar to compress Files onto multiple-disk
files.
But now I have to backup data on a really old workstation, still running
win 3.1 and dos. My rar.exe seems to need 32bit-systems and fails.
What program can I use to backup my data (approx. 20 MB) onto several Disks.
I´m looking forward to your suggestions.

I can remember, that on such hardware that time I was using ARJ for
backup of data (supports multi-disk).

Rar v2.50 was the last version to work on 8088/8086 systems. I use it
every day on my IBM PC/XT; I can send you a copy if you like, just
email me. Combined with solid mode and recovery info, it's great for
splitting to disks.
