     NAME
        
        msplit - utility for salvaging message files
        
     SYNOPSIS
        
        msplit <file [-v] [root]
        
     DESCRIPTION
        
        msplit  reads  the  standard  input file, which presumably has more
        messages on it than msg can handle, and splits  it  up  into  files
        which  contain  a  fixed number of messages.  The files created are
        named rootaa, rootab, ..., where root defaults to "tmsg" if none is
        specified on the command line.   If  the  -v  (verbose)  option  is
        selected,  then  the name of each file is displayed on ERROUT as it
        is  created.   The  user  should  immediately  use  msg  on   these
        temporaries  to  place  the  messages  in  appropriate  files.   In
        particular, the input file to msplit should be  overwritten,  since
        it is too large already.
