Q: cell morphology file formats?

I'm trying to obtain information on file formats used to describe neuron
morphology and channel distribution data. I'm aware of the "cell
descriptor file" as described in Chapter 15 of The_Book_of_Genesis. Is
this a standard format, which can be read by (e.g.) Neuron as well? Are
there other common formats?

In addition, what tools are available to convert raw voxel data on a cell
to a cell descriptor file (etc.)?

[I apologize if this has been covered before; I'm new to the list, and
the archives do not seem to be available yet.] Many thanks for any help.
