   This program reads a binary file (named parts.dat) of parts records,
   displaying the info on the screen.  The data for each record consists
   of an ID number, number in stock, price, and description.  See the
   related program makepart.cpp as a way to create a parts.dat file.

   Warning: this simple program does not contain anything to pause the
   scrolling of the output on the screen.

   Tested with:
      Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
      Microsoft Visual C++ .NET
      g++ under Linux
