NAME
       splitshp - Split Shape into frames or combine frames into Shapes

SYNOPSIS
       splitshp SHAPE FRAME...

       splitshp SHAPE

DESCRIPTION
       Shape  files are used for storage of all visible elements (from UI but‐
       tons to terrain features) of the games Exult supports.  Shapes  contain
       one  or	more  frames.  splitshp can be used to combine frames into one
       file, or split a Shape file into its component frames.

       The mode of operation is determined by looking at the number of comman‐
       dline  arguments.  Exactly  one argument means splitting, more than one
       argument signals a combining operation.

   Combining
       Each FRAME names a Shape file typically consisting of  only  one	 frame
       (i.e.   subsequent  frames  are ignored). All these frames are concate‐
       nated and written to the Shape file SHAPE.

   Splitting
       SHAPE will be read and split into its component frames. Each  of	 those
       will  be	 written  to  its own Shape file. The names of these files are
       determined by splitting the name of SHAPE before the last  dot  —  any‐
       thing before this dot is the STEM, anything else (including the dot) is
       the PREFIX, which may be empty in case there is no dot in the name. The
       output files are then named STEM_nnSUFFIX with nn replaced by the frame
       number.

EXAMPLES
       splitshp button.shp button-up.shp button-down.shp
	      Packs the (first) two  frames  from  button-up.shp  and  button-
	      down.shp into the Shape file button.shp

       splitshp grizzly
	      Unpacks  the frames contained in the Shape file grizzly into the
	      (single-frame) Shape files grizzly_00,  grizzly_01,  grizzly_02,
	      etc.

       splitshp boar.new.shp
	      Unpacks the frames contained in the Shape file boar.new.shp into
	      the (single-frame) Shape files boar.new_00.shp, boar.new_01.shp,
	      boar.new_02.shp, etc.
