Paul,
This is very exciting work you are doing. Thanks for putting the effort into
making the lives of Newtoneers better - helping us stay up-to-date in this
very connected world we live in.
Does the Linux version require use of TCP/IP connection for Docking or does
it work with Serial? Is there a web page with any overview stuff on how to
set up the DCL on a Linux machine?
Thanks.
--Calvin

> ---------------------------------------
> The DCL is a C++/Obj-C multi-platform framework for Newton data

> computers and Newtons using the built-in Dock protocol (the protocol
> used by the NewtonOS 2.1 Dock application and the NewtonOS 1.x and
> 2.0 Connection application).

> The 1.1 milestone of the DCL shall include:

> - built-in synchronization protocol
> - a modular interface for data exchange and synchronization
> - Escale 1.1 and Delivery 1.1
