Moving from a Symbolics to an Explorer.

[RDP@ALAN.kahuna.decnet.lockheed.com (Robert D. Pfeiffer)]

I'll probably be branded a traitor for asking this but I really need to
know:

What's involved in lifting files from a Symbolics Machine and moving to a
micro Explorer?

Important issues:

What tape format would be best to use?

Will Zmail mail files be readable?

Are there any random issues pertaining to the mode line in Lisp source
files? 

How similar are the two Zmacs editors?  Would hacks for one work in the
other?

Any other comments about compatibility issues?

Thanks in advance,

Bob Pfeiffer
