Thanks for the patch. It should work well, but the command #RETR must be
changed to #READ, because it was intended for special fish server.

From FISH definition by Pavel Machek <[email protected]>:

#READ <offset> <size> /path/and/filename
cat /path/and/filename | ( dd bs=4096 count=<offset/4096> > /dev/null;
dd bs=<offset%4096> count=1 > /dev/null;
dd bs=4096 count=<offset/4096>;
dd bs=<offset%4096> count=1; )

Returns ### 200 on successfull exit, ### 291 on successfull exit when
reading ended at eof, ### 292 on successfull exit when reading did not
end at eof.
