\_ Uhh, what version of split are you using? Last I checked, all versions of split I had run into split files by linefeeds, and only some supported the -b option (mostly, the newer ones).

\_ Are you positive about this? If so, is it a recent lobotomy, and is
\_ it common?
Well I don't think it was a lobotomy, but maybe the trepanation went a
bit deep. I self confused over what the -l (lines) argument did to
split. My bad.
Remember, reading man pages is an art, and I just colored over my
split page in crayon.
