Nice.  You learn new things everyday \8).  But screen too many keystrokes,
when sometimes all that is needed is two sessions.  To get the same effect
as splitvt:

screen
^A:split
^A<tab>
^AC

And the terminal emulation isn't complete.  Try running 'man screen'
inside one 'sub-terminal'... but that's nitpicking... \8)

Also there's no option to call the actual commands in one command line
like:

splitvt -upper "service named restart" -lower "tail -f /var/log/bind.log"
