I have the impression, that the number of the starting cluster of a file
or directory must be stored somewhere by GEMDOS. Maybe there is a hack
possible to get this value out of the DTA? Can somebody at Atari confirm
this? There might be some problems when running Metados, but it would
be nice to have real meaningful inodes on a TOSFS....
