- Handler for block-mapped filing devices
- .description
- A filing system handler which implements block-mapped filing devices
- such as available under Un*x. Read and write calls are mapped to
- low-level system IO operations which allow to treat devices such as
- df0:, dh0:, rad:, etc. as big data files. These `virtual' files can
- be copied, read and written just like any standard AmigaDOS file. It
- is even possible to copy a whole disk with the CLI `Copy' command or
- to archive disks with LhArc and the like. Written as a supplement for
- the Amiga `tar' program.
