Well, you could connect Macs to a Sun network using TOPS, and use Frame
on the Suns and something else on the Macs. Frame will let you read or write
any format you want (you might have to do some programming if a particular
filter doesn't already exist).
Further out in the future, Frame will run on a Mac, so using this as
an interim solution makes for a nice upgrade path in the future.
