Chris Brand asked about what IBM mainframe people call DASD.  Direct
Access Storage Device.  Anyway, on mainframes, the file system doesn't
know hwwhat the underlying disk looks like.  So files can bridge devices
without any problem.  I don't think the Amiga file system can support
this now.  Am I mistaken?  If the files are limited to the device size,
are there plans to fix this in future OS releases?

** this is a question based on idle curiosity.  *I* don't have any files
   larger than, oh, 100 megabytes.
