       "psplit" takes a PostScript file as input (that may have multiple pictures) and splits it into individual
       PostScript files having a single frame each.  If the original file has a %%BoundingBox comment in it,
       then that comment will be inserted into each output file and the output files will be EPS (encapsulated
       PostScript) conforming.  If the original file does not have a %%BoundingBox comment, then the output
       files will not have one either.  In that case, if you want the output files to be EPS files, use the
       "ps2epsi" utility that is based on GhostScript.  If the -c option is present, then only the number of
       pages in input_file is reported.

       "psplit" is primarily intended to be used with PostScript files that have been produced directly by NCAR
       Graphics, or produced from NCAR Graphics by running "ctrans" with a PostScript graphcap.  However,
       "psplit" will also work on most PostScript files adhering to PostScript Document Structuring Conventions
       (DSC).

       By default the output files are named in sequence as "pict0001.ps", "pict0002.ps", and so forth.  If you
       want to specify a different root name for the output files (i.e. a name different from "pict"), you can
       specify that by entering the optional second argument.

       simply determining the number of pages in a file.
