    `SplUU', a UUEncoding file splitter, for email.

 Whassit do then?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 OK folks, here's the worlds greatest utility ever. No, really.

 It takes a file and UUEncodes it, and then it cuts it up in 2000
line blocks. It also gives each block a header and a tail, which
proclaim:

----------- Start of block, numbered 1 of 5 files. -----------

 And also:

------------ End of block, numbered 1 of 5 files. ------------

 Good, eh? Well, I thought so.

Syntax for use:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

spluu [-?] | <[UUEncoded]file> <output_file> [-a] [-d] [-e]

 The -a flag will, if set, make SplUU overwrite any existing files
which share the same filename as <output_file>.

 The -d flag will, if set, make SplUU delete the <[UUEncoded]file>
after the output files have been written.

 The -e flag will, if  set, make SplUU assume that the <[UUEncoded]file>
has been previously UUEncoded, and will try to split it without attempting
to UUEncode.

Example use:
~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Given a pre-UUEncoded file called `testfile.uue', we could:

spluu testfile.uue outfile -a -d -e

 This would create NN number of files, depending on the length of the
input file, in the format:

outfile.NN

 Note that `testfile.uue' will have been deleted, due to the `-d' flag
being set. Also, if there were any existing files with filenames such
as `outfile.01' they will have been overwritten without any warning
messages given, due to the `-a' flag being set. The `-e' flag is set
to prevent SplUU from trying to UUEncode the input file, which had
already been UUEncoded.

 Future plans
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Well, I'd like to make it a bit faster. And get it to interact
with email somehow. And give it an ARexx port. And lots of
other things.
