Well, look at that! You're right, the developer docs and such are all
there. I'd assume this is version 1.0, not 1.2, but I wasn't able to
get Package Inspector running to check the actual version. I might try
installing it on my Newton to see which it says it is.

I'll definitely have to read through the docs and see whether this is
something worth still building on top of anymore.

That said, in the meantime, if anyone happens across the NME12 files,
let me know.

Thanks,
