> Anybody know how to get software registration codes from the system soup?
You can try the cumbersome way with SoupKitchen or SBM utils to dig around
in the SS, but it won't be easy. Many programmers left their codes under
misleading descriptions and at places where none would expect them. I could
have said: You have to dig into each and every variable of your system soup,
down to the end of each tree. Or you might use Sloup or NSBasic to list the
system soup onto a printer and hope that everything is printed. On doing
that I found e.g. my e-mail password and some other reg codes. I remember
that the codes of SolitoDX and Newtris where at a completely unexpected
place and I had to erase them to continue to play :-)

However, a piece of paper is still the best place. I have one Works document
which I use since 1995 to keep all reg codes and settings which I print out
as soon as I've got a new code. And I use a DES decrypted note (thanks SMB)
to keep all my internet passwords and usernames. This note I copy onto
another Newton as backup and don't print it.
