Code:

	printf("HD-%d-%03d\n", (NR - 1 + lpf) <= lc ? lpf : lc % lpf, nf) > fn

If the current line number (which is the 1st line in an output file) - 1 + the maximum number of lines that we will write to a file is less than or equal to the the number of lines in the input file, print the maximum number of lines to write to a file; otherwise, print the number of lines left over (which will only happen on the last file and only then if there are less than lines left to go into that file).

Thanks Don Cragun. Before this printf, I hard coded no.of records in header for all files. For the last file, I took of the header and I did word count by line, then echoed that number as header by using a temp file.

Your code made it simple.
