	Well, this program just splits your screen into two 
windows, each running a shell, so you can do two things at once.
All you have to do is unbundle the package and run the 'Configure' 
script that is included.  It is fairly simple, and can only be 
run by terminals emulating a vt100 terminal.

	More documentation for this program can be found in the
file "splitvt.man".

Install Notes:

	This program has been compiled on the following UNIX systems:

		Sun/OS 4.1.x
		Sun/OS 5.1  (Solaris 2.1)
		ULTRIX 4.2
		ULTRIX 4.3
		IRIX 4.0.1
		IRIX 4.0.5F
		HP-UX 7.00
		HP-UX 8.07
		HP-UX 9.01
		AT&T System V.3.2  
		BSD 4.3
		Linux   (by upsyf173@HRZ.Uni-Bielefeld.DE)
		FreeBSD
		AIX 3.2.4
		
	Under AT&T System V.3.2 (a 3b2 machine) I had to add the line:
CC = gcc
at the top of the Makefile so that it didn't get a syntax error in
/usr/include/sys/wait.h.  This particular 3b2 machine had been souped
up with gcc and other exotic software. 

	Under Sun/OS 5.0 (Solaris 2.1), running gcc, the grantpt()
function breaks under the -O compiling option.  Just remove that 
from the CFLAGS, and everything will work fine.
