HASHTAB Prolog

 Name       : HASHTAB
 Description: Hash Table Complex
 DSECT      : HASHTAB
 Function   : HASHTAB is used exclusively by file management
              to reduce the paging overhead when searching
              for a file on a read/write disk. It contains a
              header plus a pointer array with the address of
              each hyperblock associated with the disk, and a
              scatter index table with a 4-byte entry for
              each file on the disk. HASHTAB is called by the
              HASHTAB macro.
