[NTLK] moving NewtDB data without a serial port

Hey, folks,

I am trying to transfer data from NewtDB to my desktop, but no longer have a
desktop with a serial port. Thus, I cannot use the XferDB tool that is part
of the NewtDB suite of tools.

I am working on a Mac G4 tower, OS 9.2.1, and successfully moving
information with NCU and the occasional note via NPDS and copy/paste out of
my browser. I don't know how to get NCU to gather information from NewtDB.

Is there a quick and dirty way to download my Newton databases onto my
desktop? I don't want to move both directions, only Newton to desktop, and I
would prefer not to spend any money. (I could, of course, get an old Mac
from storage, install the necessary tools, etc., but want to avoid that).
