Yes, it does, with one caveat:  if the Macintosh file has a resource
fork, it is stored in a separate file using Apple Double format.  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).
