This was a feature of the Pick OS file system. Each "file" had a
dictionary to descript the data portion and then n-data portions.
Most files only had one data segment, but any number were possible.
The default data segment had the same name as the dictionary, and
other segments had unique names. The dictionary*data_segment name
made them unique.
