Which is a shame... it makes CVS useless, because you only have one
file (the disk image) to version-control. It would be nice if I could
do diffs and file-specific versioning of Newton files. One possibility
that exists is to use one of Apple's developer tools to split the two
forks (data, resource) into separate files, and then write a shell
script that can combine the two again, and set the proper file type and
creator so that Newton Connection Kit can read it. This wouldn't give
us the ability to diff the files, but it would at least give us version
control. But you'd still need a Mac to convert the files to Windows
format before using them on a Windows system.

Anybody have a good suggestion as to how to replace the single .dmg
file for the source?
