To the group,
I just compiled the gnu textutils on my NeXT. I'd like to use
csplit on a file that has paragraphs all starting with "entry".
When I try variations on csplit commands all I get is 2 files :
One containing all the text up to to the first "entry" and a 
second with the remaining text, with many "entry"'s. Forgive
my ignorance but how do I get this csplit to work, i.e. split
the starting file many times?

Thank you for your attention to this matter,
