[NTLK] What was in the Newton Connection Pro Kit?

[Michael Sheflin]

There's no indication of it here:

Also, in this October 12, 1993 PC Mag (
https://books.google.com/books?id=3YYkmZlpAuoC&pg=PA178&lpg=PA178&dq=%22newton+connection+kit+pro%22&source=bl&ots=EykMxDEVHB&sig=ACfU3U1n687Ue-K2rf4AJB3Q1sQakDE9hw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj0rtiyn9WGAxVgFVkFHVV1A_0Q6AF6BAgJEAM#v=onepage&q=%22newton%20connection%20kit%20pro%22&f=false
).

And I found a reference here to the Pro and regular kits being combined
into a single package also in 1993 - so if it had an existence it must have
been brief (https://tidbits.com/issues/194/ - "Numerous comments, tips, and
announcements (After Dark, anyone?) fill the first part of this issue. Akif
Eyler’s Easy View wins the 1993 MacUser Shareware Award for Text Tools.
Apple announces the Apple Workgroup Server 95 Tune-Up and combines the
Newton Connection Kit and Connection Pro Kit into a single package.
Finally, I look at Conflict Catcher II, the essential extension manager
that actually catches conflicts.")

There is a Newton software (and Mac and other platforms) server that had
some rare software including a beta of Copland OS. Does anyone recall what
I'm talking about?  I would probably check there.

 The Relatives” brochure and is mentioned in at least one edition of the
Apple Facts booklet.

> The following description is from a Newton Accessories pamphlet:
>
> “This kit gives you everything the Newton Connection Kit provides-and
> more. You can translate your appointments, name cards, and notes from your
> Newton MessagePad directly into popular PC and Macintosh applications and
> vice versa. One version works with
> personal computers running Microsoft Windows and the other works with
> Apple Macintosh computers.”

> What I’d like to know is what software was included to do the translation
> part. Especially seeing as it was a cross platform product.
