Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the Newton ID was a system
created by Adam Tow used exclusively for registering software, and that it
is different from the Newton's own internal ID. I thought it was _this_ that
the original poster was having problems with? Am I right?
If it is, then I think you may have to locate the original writer of the
registered software, and have this all changed to match the new ID...
Yuck...
