I think Backtalk will do that.

X-port does this very nicely. Transfers both ways and the images come
though as bmp files and you can import from bmp to newton just as easly.

Well UNNA is a good start. I agree it does not have everything, but it does
have a lot. And I agree the newtontalk archives have great info/links on
most subjects.

Well first off I don't believe I have ever given *vague* referrals, and if I
have please feel free to correct me. As for the Apple-PC controversy, well
it is not preaching "to the choir" as I personally use a PC and have no
intention to get a Mac. I find the info about Macs here very interesting as
I like computers in general and I know some people with Macs and I might be
able to help them from what I have read here.
Also it has been discussed before that if you don't like the off-topic
posts, just filter them out as it is very easy to do. And many consider
many of the off-topic posts is what keeps this list interesting. I find
most of them worth reading and while I agree that sometimes a topic gets
old, yet the thread continues, again that is when a filter comes in handy.
