Sorry Wol, Yes, I did think you meant the Pick style multi-part, sorry about that.
But as far as the distributed files as managed by DF they have always had a master file of type (27 or 41 - cannot remember which ) which was basically just a header and I think had the algorithms etc in them. Dave Meeks or Glenn Herbert could probably confirm if they are still around. Palmer Chapelle was the engineer who had most input in implementing them in UV from PI.

I'm talking about the file-type introduced by Prime, and officially managed using the DEFINE.DF command. By "multi-part", do you mean the Pick style NEW.ACCOUNT,PIOPEN type file? I'm certainly not thinking of those - they were never in PI and I've never had cause to use them. I wouldn't presume to know anything about them. Distributed files, as known on Prime, never to my knowledge had any physical existence other than as individual part-files. As far as I was aware, the UV implementation had similar characteristics ...

I used to create multiple masters by hand and never did anything like that ... (and never bothered to update &PARTFILES& either :-) Where does it store the pointer to the master file? Field 2 of the VOC is just a multi-value list of the relevant partfiles ...
