Splinter seems a reasonable interpretation, but, since for me, 3C, 3D would
be GF, and 2S F1, all good 2 suiters ought to be able to bid other ways.
I guess these should be slam tries, suggesting 6H and a singleton.

: 
: 1 NT   2 D
: 2 H      4 NT    
: ? 5-3-3-2    Balanced slam invite, not forcing

Seems correct to me too.

: 1 NT    4 D
: 4 H      4 NT   (or 4 S if playing kickback)
: ? RKCB for hearts

Seems reasonable, but unlikely to be best

cheers,

I was relatively recently introduced to "Baze" which was described to me 
as 
1NT-2D			1NT-2H
2H-3S  and 		2S-3H

slam try in the major with a singleton somewhere (step 1 relay, 
rresponses to taste)

1NT-2M-Xfer-4C= RKCB for major
1NT-2M-Xfer-4D =-serious slam try M. Balanced
1NT-2M-xfer-4M= mild slam try

NB this works excellently in 1NT-2C-2M-etc in parallel, except 4M is of 
course to play.

If you believe as I do that 1NT-2D-2H-2S is a puppet to 2NT either to 
invite in hearts or some slam try at the 4 level (so does Roth but that 
does not make it wrong per se!) then you have even more space

You can create the same language by using 1NT-2C-2X-2S as inv S+ 
other/gf slam try as well.

Anyone interested can contact me for more details

Don't most people play 
  1NT  2D
  2H   4C
as Gerber (RKC in hearts, if you play it)

I suppose it depends on what "most people" you're talking about.
In some company, all 4C bids are Gerber.

Most relatively good players I know play 1NT-4D; 4H-4NT as RKC
in hearts and 1NT-2D; 2H-4C as a splinter.
