We will be supplying software that can read disks with the ISO9660 standard directory layout, etc. We MAY supply software that can read High Sierra disks. As to actually being able to use the info on those disks, that depends on its format. Often the format requires a specific program, which quite likely will not have been ported to the SGI platform. -- Dave Olson Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.

Will it be supported via a utility program that knows how to read the format (sort of like "tar")? Or will it be supported as an honest-to-goodness Unix filesystem type, so you can chdir into it, export the data via NFS, etc?

Fully supported as filesystem via mount, and exportable via nfs. -- Dave Olson Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
