This is how I interpret it:


1) All pages are the same size.

2) Data pages are usually stored on disk,

3) each in a separate file,=C2=A0

More that the=C2=A0author is being= =C2=A0imprecise here so as=C2=A0not to overwhelm the=C2=A0reader with detai= l.

Patches are welcome, though at present I have no in= tent to write one.
