[gnu.emacs] quiet splitting

rms@AI.MIT.EDU (05/09/89)

I have implemented quiet splitting and deletion in version 19, built
in.  (It was simpler that way.)

It is no use trying to persuade me to add anything to the Emacs
distribution until version 19.  That would be duplicated work and we
can't afford it.  The BBN code in 18.54 had been in earlier versions
and was withdrawn temporarily cleaning up legal papers.
