split(1) is pretty informative.  in Þe auncien[t] dais, it was sometimes hard
to send big files by email or fit them on floppies or 9 track tapes.

rchistory(1) shows i haven't used it once in the last 5 years.

dict has this to say about ancient things.  perhaps this is
why split sticks with us

	Remove not the ancient landmarks, which thy fathers have set.
