Use it from a real terminal, not X (which uses pseudoterminals like rxvt or xterm). Just type splitvt without TERM=vt100.

I think it uses vi commands to move cursor.

Hi Sindi,

Thanks for your response.

I had just downloaded and installed bin.tgz from the Slackware 4
repository, so i tried splitvt with this command:

$ TERM=vt100 splitvt

Result: it looked like my screen got split at first, but followed by
an error message, and then a return to the regular prompt and un-split
screen. The error message was:

$ No available pseudo terminals
