Is there any definitive reason to partition a hard disk?
I am adding a new 70 meg hard disk to my systems and am
debating whether or not it would be desirable to partition
it.  My machine is a System V implementation by Unisoft and
as far as I know there are no parameters such as block
number which would require use of a 16 bit word and hence
an artificial limit to the file size.
