CVS versions are what nightly build versions.
There are at least four different versions of Escale.
- the version on your hard drive.
- the version on Nicolas' hard drive.
- the version on my hard drive.
- the version on CVS (which is built nightly).
:)
Nightly builds are available here:

Synchronization is disabled until further notice.
I mean, the synchronization framework is invoked but without any
source (hence it's very fast). This is also why it seems successful.
Escale really tells the Newton it's going to synchronize.
>However, package install works pretty much 100%
Good to hear about this.
I suspect AppleTalk code to be horribly buggy. Nicolas has been working on it.
We have design problems with AppleTalk (as usual) because MacOS X
ADSP code is not thread safe and it took us time to find it out and I
did cook something to work around it but it's complex and dirty.
Another problem is that AppleTalk doesn't work over Airport Extreme
base stations and that's what I have.
