Thanks for the tip!

I dropped the following alias into my .cshrc file:

alias split "med -e 'split \!* myfile' gmeta"

so if I issue the command:

split 5

med splits the file "gmeta" into the 5 separate frames:

myfile001.ncgm, ... myfile005.ncgm

You can change the filename prefix "myfile" to whatever you want.
I then use ncgm2cgm to convert these files into standard *.cgm
format, import them into Canvas on a Macintosh, and polish them up.
