Yes, there was such a program posted to comp.sources.misc that could
read/write dos files quite some time ago.  

The programs were called "sparc-mtools".  They are available from your
favorite comp.sources.misc archive site.  The site I typically use is
the wuarchive:

wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4]  

The files you want are in /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume11/sparc-mtools

The posting is stored compressed, in the original 3-part posting.

Good luck...
