The  entry comes  as two  files: this  one, SPLIT.PRE;  and the  source,
SPLIT.PL.


To use the program, consult it and call 'split'. Documentation and notes
about portability are given at the head of SPLIT.PL.


CHECKED ON EDINBURGH-COMPATIBLE (POPLOG) PROLOG : yes.


PORTABILITY :

    Should be easy. Hints are given in the program.


INTERNAL DOCUMENTATION :

    Comments for each predicate, plus a more detailed description of the
    program, and a sample composite file.


NB:

    If your  implementation doesn't optimise tail  recursion, or doesn't
    collect unused atoms, the program may  run out of space (though I've
    tried to avoid recursion as much as possible).
