[Haskell-cafe] file splitter with enumerator package

[Eric Rasmussen]

Since the program only needs to finish a line after it's made a bulk
copy of a potentially large chunk of a file (could be 25 - 500 mb), I
was hoping to find a way to copy the large chunk in constant memory
and without inspecting the individual bytes/characters. I'm still
having some difficulty with this part if anyone has suggestions.

Thanks again,
Eric
