I know this.  The reason I mentioned it was... why couldn't it write a BSD
disklabel inside a RDB entry if the user so desired?  That's something I
wanted when I was running /amiga....

And this is a good reason why on /amiga.

For now, I'll leave the unit goop alone, but it now has 16-bit compat.
`yay.'
