So far, the only program I know about that understands this is Interleaf, allowing the Mac version and Sun version to share files. The Cayman Gator box is a nifty product. They are diverging soon into two products - one which competes directly with Kinetics FastPath 4 and does no translation and an add-on which does the translation (effectively splitting their product into two parts). -- Jeffrey A.
