Nope!  I certainly appreciate the trouble Wolf went to to post this
program, but this particular "split" is a binary-mode byte-splitter,
not a text-mode line-splitter like its UNIX namesake.

If no one can come up with a true text-mode line split() for DOS, I
guess I'll just have to write one--then we'll all be in trouble!  *8-)
