 How would i go about doing the following (ed,sed,ex,vi,awk,perl even):

 Take a file something like this ->
    
                        *DECK A
                        jcl
                        jcl
                        *DECK B
                        jcl
                         .
                        *DECK PAT
                        etc.

  .. and divide it up into files with names A, B, PAT (or whatever follows *DECK). This is the hard part, at laest for me because I am not fully UNIX literate
yet..
