What would you like to do exactly?

I don't really know what you mean by "operated on in a files sense."
But, with NFS and/or CIFS, you can pretty much share it with Linux
and/or Windows.  (To be able to see data in either Linux or Windows,
the RMS data won't be able to be preserved and the data probably will
not be of much use anyway.)

Even easier would be to simply Zip up an entire disk.  You can even
preserve version-numbering, to name something.
