Anybody have any suggestions on segmenting files larger than 2gb under OS 9.0? Nothing seems to recognize files that large yet.

What kind of file is it? Is it a digital video movie?
I don't know, really, but try using Disk Copy or searching for "segment" on CNET's download.com.
I wish you the best of luck...

I got a copy of Compact Pro... has the ability to segment. Little old though. E-mail me if you want.
OS 9 has the ability to recognise files up to 2 terabytes (off the top of my head).

Try MacRAR 2.5. It really gets the job done. Search on versiontracker.com, you'll find it.

I vote for DiskCopy. You can compress your files pretty well at the same time. Download it from Apple's Software Updates area. Here's the link - get the Disk Copy Scripts, too, as they will allow you to segment the image you create. http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11162

Tried all of the above mentioned products, and none of them will segment larger than two gigabytes. Disk Copy can only create an image 2gb big. Ugh-couldn't find anything on the windows side either.

You cannot create files larger than 2gb because HSF+ limits you. This goes for all apps. If you HAVE a file larger than 2gb, something is really wrong.

Actually, that's incorrect. The largest file size under HFS+ is 2 terabytes. See Apple tech note: http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n24601

ssampey is right - HFS+ handles very large files (2^32*4KB, which may or may not add up to 2 terabytes, I don't care to count it). HFS used to handle nothing larger than 2 GB, though, which is why many programs retain that limit.
