    Yes, it works that way.  The Pascal Partition Manager grabs the
total space you request at the end of a ProDOS volume.  Then it
divides that total space into a variable number of variable sized
partitions according to your specifications.  PPM  is written in UCSD
(Apple) Pascal but the source is not available AFAIK.  I rewrote it in
Kyan Pascal but did not complete the re-write.  Contact me if you'ld
like a copy.
