Well, looky here. I found the following snippet in a read me file on the
OpenDoc DR4 CD:

     ISIS also makes the Flash-Data family of software for using the Apple
     MessagePad to collect and transfer data rapidly and efficiently.
     Flash-Data can share data bi-directionally with the Macintosh,
     PowerMac, Windows machines, several varieties of UNIX, and Linux.
     Flash-Data is compatible with the Newton 2.0 O/S and the 1.3 O/S. In
     the future, we plan to do OpenDoc parts which will allow you to embed
     data from a MessagePad using Flash-Data.
 
     ISIS International, Inc.
     4010 A South Poplar, Suite 65
     Casper, WY 82601, USA
     http://www.isis-intl.com/

Sadly, but not surprisingly, the web site address is dead. But this looks
like the start of what you are looking for. I'll keep digging throughmy
other OpenDoc discs.
