   Hello Maurice!

   split started to be a requirement when I needed a command-line     
   way to break up a 7GB media .iso file suitable to transport on     
   a usb drive from my windows-based machines.   
      
   Would be nice to use a more uptodate split.exe for windows, but     
   split.exe 2.0 was workable when I learned (by trial and error)     
   what the limit was.   
      
   Meanwhile, I am very happy to see that Busybox split has no     
   noticeable limit for the -b parameter.   
      
   That, and the ability to do piping like:   
      
    tar | gpg | split   
      
      
    ..luv it!
