Can anyone tell me how to do asynchronous I/O to/from AmigaDOS files?

That is,I want to issue a Read() or Write() request and not block, but
be notified with a signal later when the I/O completes.  I know that
it's possible to send I/O request packets asynchonoushly to any device
driver, but I don't want to deal with device drivers, I want to deal with
the file system.  Isn't there a way to do this?  I can't find it in my RKMs.
Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks
Duncan Thomson
