Testing an rc script under Bell and Atom I noted that Atom dd doesn't
implement the "oseekb" option.
bs=1 allows to seek at any given byte offset but, what is the impact on
speedness ?
And, in any case, isn't it a (IMHO small) portability problem ?

let me think about this. i think i have a plan 9 solution, but it will
take a day or two to code up.
