        It's a little early goings yet for that.  Essentially, the folks at ILM
have opened up the source for an image spec...all the tools are there
for a developer to implement support for the format in their
applications.   A couple of them will be out soon, with hopefully lots
more to come, but right at the moment you're given a sample program
written that lets you view and fiddle with OpenEXR(exrdisplay), and
that's about it.  ;)  It's a proof of concept(not counting all the
actual production ILM has used this in).
        I suspect you thought this might be like a Windows codec that, once
installed, is accessible by a multitude of apps.  Not yet.  :)

        Cheers,

There's nothing to writing.  All you do is sit at a typewriter and open
a vein.
