Well first off, I think it is really cool that you are trying the world without
a desktop. Personally, I think the Newton can do it, and I am thinking more
and more about going that way myself. I plan to keep my Newton around, if
nothing else, to be a storage device for my Newton. Though I would like my
Atari ST to be that machine.
Then again, with internet access you could go about saving your packages
on a website.

Check out:
It's a site that allows you to unzip a file by sending it through their
website. Cool eh? Actually found this one on the list of Newtonlinks at:

Well, you've seen the ZIP solution above. SIT format is still a problem from
the Newton side of things, and unfortunately the SIT format is VERY common
amoungst Newton archieves.

Let me know how it is. I do a lot of BBS'ing, and I am looking for a term
program that handles Graphical ANSI, or at least ANSI.
Take care,
Doctor Clu
