Yes. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I _did_ mention the 32-bitness of
the target machine.

Right. If all I wanted was four 64KB files that concatenated into the
original, I could use split.

Also true. I'll be guessing because the ROM sockets are not numbered
on the board. :-( It's a VAXstation/MicroVAX 2000, if anyone happens
to know what the EPROM byte order is.
I got an EPROM splitter utility from Don Maslin (thanks, Don!) It
appears to be just what I was after.
Sorry for the confusion and wasted bandwidth.
