[Coco] RS-DOS file manager for OS-9

[alsplace at pobox.com]

These sound like similar issues that the PCF (PC-DOS) file manager had 
to face for OS-9/non-6809.  Utilities that try to open "." and parse 
directly would be problematic.  I'll take a look at that as soon as I 
can -- the overhead of a file manager might make this not worthwhile.

Question:  Is there anything that prevents one from loading a file 
manager, using it, then unlinking it?  (Other than the wasted space in 
the rest of the 8K MMU block on a CoCo.)

(1) Utilities like dir, copy, are written with some degree of knowledge 
of the underlying file system.
(2) RSF would have to handle file types (binary, ASCII) somehow.
(3) For write support, record locking would have to be implemented ala 
RBF.
