NAME
       splitpath  -  format (split at : signs) the content of PATH (and other
       PATH-like) environment variables.

SYNOPSIS
       splitpath

TYPICAL APPLICATION
       printenv | splitpath

DESCRIPTION
       The command splitpath is a tiny C++ program, which is designed to pro-
       vide  readable  printing	 of  the PATH and PATH-like environment vari-
       ables.

       The principle of its actions is that it splits input string into	 sev-
       eral  strings according to : signs, by which different directories are
       divided in PATH.

       For example, if the PATH is:

	shell> printenv PATH
	.:/home/username/scripts:/home/username/bin:/any_package
	/new/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

       than the result ( and the typical method) of application of this	 pro-
       gram will be:

	shell> printenv PATH | splitpath
	.
	/home/username/scripts
	/home/username/bin
	/any_package/new/bin
	/usr/local/bin
	/usr/bin
	/bin
	/usr/X11R6/bin

       This latter output seems to be much more readable.

       The program does not use any command arguments.
