cut up large file

Guru's,
I have a very large ldif (text file) that I would like to split up into
multiple files, approximately 5-10 smaller ones. It doesn't matter where
I start chopping up the original file, what tool would best work for
this, I'm not too familiar with sed, but I think this might serve my
purpose.

p.s.
I want to avoid a lengthy cut/paste process with my mouse if possible.
