- After 2.0 is out we'll look into supporting a wide variety of file
- formats. Apple's "Apple Double" format is so brain dead that most
- programs that have to stor Mac files on a non-Mac filesystem use their
- own format, and netatalk is just one example of this. However, there
- are so many of these (AUFS is different, uShare is different, etc.)
- that right now we stick with the "standard" and will deal with the
- others later.

- I don't think it works now. Getting Word 6 and Excel 5 to run will be
- fairly high priority over the next few weeks, although getting the
- installers to go is less of a priority.
