Thanks to everybody who responded.  Those who e-mailed should get
e-mailedmailed thanks.

My best quick option seems to be to use /com/obty, which hid from me
as I was RTFMing (I didn't find it, anyway), to change the nil type file
to unstruct.  Alternatively, I can apparently use the ms_$ calls
(which is what I'm guessing the dmpf utility uses) to map the disk
image into memory and operate on it from there.  This being a one-time
thing (Ha!), I will probably use the former method (if anybody cares).

Thanks again.
