Send me a copy pls. and let me take a look, I'm not sure. Sounds
interesting, though... Might be the thing we're looking for.

"Universal" is a lowest-common-denominator format. It works on all Newton
machines, but doesn't use the screen optimally, though (maybe on NOS 1.x?).
Even im NOS 2.0 I prefer classic to universal, and with NOS 2.1 formats the
loss is even greater. It's just using too small a window to be really
enjoyable, might as well use a Palm. ;=}
Better are the double-universal formats available to MP2k and eMate - it's
two universal pages next to each other, mimicking a proper books double
page spread. Haven't seen this in real life yet, as I've only got a MP 130.
And yes, classic does it well - nice column width (not too long, not too
short) makes for speedy reading without much skipping yer eyes about.
So, sorry - universal doesn't really cut it for me.
Cheers,
DJV.
