Just to set the record straight for other users, Suns (and any Unix
machine) can handle "_" in file names, and most any character except "/".
Your shell may disallow certain characters, but you can use the open()

Frame's binary format has a magic number at the front, which tells the
reader how the writer wrote the file. As far as I know, all platforms running
Frame can read any document produced on any machine.
