Darn, I just finished writing up detailed instructions for getting a Mac
PP98 file into the Newton via Win PP97. Before I could send it, Paul Filmer
beat me to the punch with his excellent answer. ;)
I just wanted to add that it works fine under Virtual PC 3.0. Simply save
the presentation as usual in PP98, switch to VPC, start PP97 and open the
presentation file. Then follow Paul F's earlier instructions to convert the
presentation to a Newton pkg file. This is just a standard pkg file and can
be installed on the newt in any of the normal ways from either a Mac or PC
or FTP server (using NewtFTP).
I have used EZPresenter for seminars at two national scientific meetings. It
worked very well and after both talks, I had lots of folks asking to see my
"fancy new" handheld. They were shocked to learn that I used a Newton.
