Yep! NewtGrocery. I wrote it. It's in the Newton section on my website at
. It used (and still shows as) to be $15, but I
just never had the time to build a version without the registration check.
If anybody wants a registration number, let me know. I'll make it freely
available.

I used to bring my Newton 2100 when I was going at the grocery store without
any problem. I don't go much often anymore, but I wouldn't hesitate to bring
it again should I had to do the grocery on a regular basis!
