   The original SPLIT program was in Nibble magazine, but only worked under   
   Dos3.3.  It took some doing to get it to work under Prodos.  I don't see any   
   reason why it shouldn't work with a System file, as the driver is stored out   
   of the way that a system    
   file can't stomp on it and only taps into the JSR at $BF00 which is used by   
   every MLI call.  The driver doesn't require Basic.system at all and could be   
   installed as a system file itself, which then launches the actual System   
   file,  the same way Prodos    
   launches Basic.system which then launches STARTUP.
