\fBm.bsplit input\*=\fIname [\fBsize\*=\fIvalue\fR] [\fBprefix\*=\fIname\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIm.bsplit\fR works much like the UNIX command \fIcsplit\fR;  however,
it was developed to be used on binary, not ASCII, files. 
     
The first parameter, \fIsize\fR, has a default value of 500000.
The user may assign larger or smaller values, as long as 1000000
is not exceeded.

The second parameter, \fIprefix\fR, is comparable to the UNIX
\fIcsplit \fR command use of "x" as a prefix to output files.
\fIm.bsplit\fR uses the default of "bx" as a prefix on output.
