I don't know whether there is one, but I suspect there is not. ProSel
is the kind of program that is likely to bypass the standard file system
calls and do block-level access to a disk volume, even for simple tasks
like reading the directory.
This means that it will not work on a server volume, because the server
only supports file-level access, not block-level.
