An interesting thought... but !ROFS is only intended as a stop-gap
measure until DOSFS and the system for identifying foreign-format
drives is cured of the 2GB limit.

Another interesting possibility was suggested on Tuesday evening
at the SAUG meeting, where three people brought in hard drives,
two of which were NTFS formatted.  There is sufficient documentation
around to make !ROFS capable of reading NTFS.  Maybe.
