&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.
Part file "/u1/SIMS5/FSR_p2", Part number = 2.
Part file "/u1/SIMS5/FSR_p3", Part number = 3.
Part file "/u1/SIMS5/FSR_p4", Part number = 4.
Part file "/u1/SIMS5/FSR_p1", Part number = 1.

I used unix utility "strings" instead of "cat" below because of all the
non-printable characters.
I think I could, should make this file read-only. June 11 2004 was when
I created it.
