I would be able to do that work and write an application for both
platforms. I mean one source code for Mac and Win. Compiled would the
application become relatively big, but hey, who cares about HD space and
RAM. I can receive and send serial data streams and can program
calendar, notes and names appearance including all MoreInfo stuff, BUT I
can not do much on the Newton side and I do have absolutely NO clue
about the NOS backup data stream or handshaking procedures nor do I know
sufficiently much about the major Newton soups, in order to use them as
they are.

That sounds good, if there is a need for a Newton program at all. I
think the major lack is at the desktop side. Which program has all the
features of the Newton? I miss so many things, like MoreInfo links or
multiple clipboards with the easiness of NOS on my WinNT box and also
some on my Mac and that keeps me using my Newton as more or less
standalone device.
