	Is there some kind of flat handler available anywhere with ftp
	&c? In other words, I need a handler that makes a device (like
	trackdisk.device) to a DOS-readable file or filehandle (like
	PAR:, but seekable).  There is an entry "RFD:" in Mountlist
	file distributed with MessyDos, shareware CrossDos style
	program, that uses "rfd-handler". I want it!

	(I'm reading diskettes written by UNIX tar to /dev/rfdnn. Now
	I read whole disk to a file in harddisk and then untar it.)
