Quick question before I go and make my own little script..

but is there a way to store a large amount of files into chunked/split zip files without files spanning over into other archives?

I know in zip files if you split things into lets say 4096mb (4GB) parts, a 10mb file that's being added to an archive that is 4091mb full will have 5mb added into that archive and then carried over into the 0-5mb part of the next archive.

I was wondering if there a utility or command switch for zip files that would only store the full file, so in the scenario above the 10mb file goes into a new archive.
