After 2.0 is out we'll look into supporting a wide variety of file
formats.  Apple's "Apple Double" format is so brain dead that most
programs that have to stor Mac files on a non-Mac filesystem use their
own format, and netatalk is just one example of this.  However, there
are so many of these (AUFS is different, uShare is different, etc.)
that right now we stick with the "standard" and will deal with the
others later.

I don't think it works now.  Getting Word 6 and Excel 5 to run will be
fairly high priority over the next few weeks, although getting the
installers to go is less of a priority.
