Looks like the demo splitter was not designed to work with the mission
pack and/or such massive demos; the results were less than great.
Although I got most of the first unit out OK, the rest is another
matter. Ended up with lots of tiny demos of something like 1Kb each
which crash Q2; the larger ones just don't work. At least, for the first
map of the second unit. Oh well... I'll salvage what I can and see what
we've got. The spliiter itself crashed before completing the split so I
don't have all of the game to play back anyhow.

OK, update - I've recovered the majority of the first unit; a few
snatches of the second; a couple of seconds of the third. <g>
That's pretty much it; I'm gonna have to set up demo-recording aliases
for next week; or record one unit at a time, maybe. I'm guessing the
splitter wasn't designed to work with such large demos containing so
many map changes. Frustrating :(

but what the heck.

I haven't posted it yet, or even written a readme <g> It'll be on the
FTP site in my sig rather than the binary NG -
