&PARTFILES& on UV is purely decorative. (Someone _please_ correct me if that isn't true!)
&PARTFILES& was vital on PI, but maintained on UV solely for backward compatibility in case guys like us ported some user-grown PI critter that relied on it. Perhaps a UV example would help. FSR is distributed, type27, with 5 partfiles. The 5 parts are each dynamic hashed, type30. The 4096 byte OS file called "FSR" is filled with x00 and xFF bytes, scattered with some pointers to the partfiles. >LIST.DF FSR Part file "/u1/SIMS5/FSR_p5", Part number = 5.

I think I could, should make this file read-only. June 11 2004 was when I created it. ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
