self-extracting

I have a large file I want to transfer using either Internet storage hosting, DVD-Rs or USB storage, which sometimes is limited to FAT file-systems (for example: mobile phones)

What I'm basically looking for is a tool that create multiple files/volumes (less than 2GB each - FAT's file size limit) which are packed with a self-extracting executable.

Currently the only tool I found doing this is WinRAR, but that's shareware, and not free.

Is there any Free, preferably Open-Source tool that does that?

Thank in advance
