I think the problem here would probably be the same problem that people who
would like to have an OS X version of NCU are facing: the Desktop
Integration Libraries (DIL) that Apple did provide to developers at the time
the Newton was still supported, were libraries with a lot of legacy code.
Since Apple is unlikely to "update" those libraries to make them OS X
compatible, and since Apple is also unlikely to release the source code,
that means that someone would have to rewrite those libraries from scratch,
without any support from Apple. That's a very tough job, and the only one I
know who I would bet on to write those beasts would be Paul Guyot. But he
has other problems at this time...
