I wrote the MVS stuff, but I'm not an MVS user.  efs uses FTP as its
underlying utility, so it can in principal access anything that the
FTP server on the machine can access.  Currently, the MVS stuff has
only been tested with the FTP server on cu.nih.gov.  I believe that
this is a customized server though.  However, if your friend is
willing to test some code, I am willing to make it work for his
server.

The intention is that PDS's should be browsable with dired.  Probably
PDS's should be treated as a unix directory, with its members as
subfiles.  If files outside the home PDS are accessible with FTP, then
efs should be able to get them.
