   Hello Maurice!   
      
    MK> Given the version of busybox, that is either an aliased ash or hush

   A closer inspection reveals that busybox includes several shell     
   choices:   
      
   ash   
   bash   
   lash   
   sh   
      
   echo $SHELL in all of them reports /bin/sh

   I was relying on separate GNUWin32 programs before. At one time     
   I needed a decent split command. I eventually found it in the     
   GNUWin32 collection, but the maximum split it supported was     
   2GB.  Busybox split doesn't seem to have that limitation.
