The mechanism used to store packages in libraries is
implementation-dependent.  In the case of MaxPlusII running under
Windows the package information is stored in .dls (design library
system) files rather than .pkg files.

The file Lib.dls contains a list of the dls files used to store
the different packages (the package files themselves have names
of the form Unnnnnnn.dls).

I think it's done this way on Windows because of the 8-character
limit of DOS file names.
