I'm not talking about whether it's supported or not I mean from what I read
this morning the raw file doesn't appear as Macwrite, since Macwrite
supposedly uses compression and all the text is unmangled. It's just we
don't know what the other data is all about. And hell with expensive tools
if we can figure what format it is we can write the code ourselves.
