OK, but NCU has about the worst serial transfer possible on a PC. I'm
still using serial since the 802.11 drivers are still in alpha (I might
dive in when beta's come out.) Even so, NCU needs serial no matter what
the deal (PC - not Mac) Would have been nice if Apple threw TCP/IP in
NCU before the ball dropped...

Nothing for synchronization, but you can still export and import RTF
document using NCU. QF has it's own transfer program, which is a package
on the Newton and a macro for Excel.

candygrammar n.: A programming-language grammar that is mostly syntactic
sugar; the term is also a play on `candygram'. COBOL, Apple's Hypertalk
language, and a lot of the so-called `4GL' database languages share this
property. The usual intent of such designs is that they be as
English-like as possible, on the theory that they will then be easier
for unskilled people to program. This intention comes to grief on the
reality that syntax isn't what makes programming hard; it's the mental
effort and organization required to specify an algorithm precisely that
costs. Thus the invariable result is that `candygrammar' languages are
just as difficult to program in as terser ones, and far more painful for
the experienced hacker.
