First off, I am not sure my first message made it
to any where.
Second off, I should have motioned about the need
for a "-F --infor-scrript" type of option for suggestion 2. As a matter of
fact the mere presents of a --F option should imply a stdout
output.
I get so much SPAM that my eye sight is not as
good as it use to be, that I am not sure, if I am getting to any humans reading
this computer network message, which is always running too slow for my
information technology.

Subject: Two split suggestions I have two suggestions for split:
1) numeric suffix: I noticed that a numeric suffix
options was purposed:
Perhaps a better way to specify this would be to
use -e (extension) options, where for example:
-e n3
would mean to use a 3 digit numeric extension. As
well as:
-e c3
would mean to use a 3 digit alpha
extension.
The default would be to use the current 2
digit alpha extension.
2) stdout output: Provide an option that
causes split to output to stdout, so that it can be used in pipe
commands. This feature would be useful so that the complete set of output
files would not have to be generated before they can be processed. This
feature becomes more important as the input file becomes very large,
because the very large storage requirements could be
avoided. Perhaps an option '-o1' could be used to signify that
it's output would be sent to stdout.
