What I would like to do is use the devices as some kind of pipes.
For example:
   saveas CRYPT:ZOO:MSDOS:file
This should encrypt the file, send it along to ZOO for packing and then
save it on an MSDOS disk.

Another examples:
  copy from ARC:MSDOS:file.arc to ZOO:DH0:file.zoo
read a file from an MSDOS disk, un-arc it, pack it with ZOO and save it
on my hard disk.
