Zero    1.1    DOS-handler like /dev/zero in Unix

An AmigaDOS handler much like the /dev/zero device in Unix.
It provides streams of 0-bytes, which can be unlimited or set to an
arbitrary limit.  There are two ways to use the handler:

    zero:           unlimited stream of 0-bytes
    zero:<number>   a stream of <number> 0-bytes

Examples:

    copy zero: to somefile      will quickly fill your harddisk
    copy zero:2000 to somefile  generates a file of 2000 0-bytes
    copy zero:0 to somefile     generates a file of size 0
    copy zero:foo to somefile   results in an error
