PowerArchiver (http://www.powerarchiver.com/download) has Windows and DOS tools
for to create and to extract multi-volume zip, rar, ... and SFX archives.

ZipCentral (http://zipcentral.iscool.net/) is a freeware Windows GUI that
creates multi-volume zip archives and self-extracting archives. I'm not sure if
its SFX archives can be extracted under DOS.

Info-Zip (http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/) has freeware tools (Zip, Unzip
and UnZipSFX) for to create and to extract multi-volume compressed archives
under DOS command line. Also, Info-Zip has a Windows front end (Wiz) for Zip and
Unzip.
