Believe me I will. Probably on the wiki, possibly also on my personal
website. I've been contemplating setting up a few newton pages on my
site but haven't thought of anything to post that isn't covered
elsewhere.

Nah, that's too much work. I'd just leave them as RTF files then :-)

Well, none of the RTF images are oversized for the Newton screen,
because they were all created on a Newton...
The RTF files I'm trying to convert to newtonbooks are exported notes
with a mixture of text, ink text, shapes, and sketches. Also, I don't
think that just appending stuff linearly down the page would work so
well, because all four things are well shuffled together and placement
is important.
