Others have given solutions with extensions in gnu sed or tricky perl commands. There's however a very easy way to solve this with the unix toolkit that should work everywhere. No need for perl or awk or sed or anything. Suppose the input file is named inp. Then run the following shell commands.
( cat inp; echo ) > gre
rm spl.*
split -l 25 gre spl.
head -qn-1 spl.* > out
rm gre spl.*
The output is in the file out.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
