What exactly is the problem? If you can get NCU to install packages, it
is not a port conflict. If you could be more specific perhaps we can
help narrow down the problem. NCU does have a glitch however that I ran
into a bit ago. It will import colons (:) but won't export them. In
other words you can move a file with colons from a text document on the
Windows box to the Newt, but when you go to move FROM the Newt back to
NCU, the colons disappear. Being a writer I am sure this will be
important to you. I did find that X-port does import/export text with
the colons intact, and works very reliably. You might want to look into
getting it. It is still sold however and it is $37 if I remember right.
I bought it years ago and one of the handiest tools I have purchased
for my Newt. You can look it up on www.newts.com and there is a Kagi
link there to purchase it that still works.
Another method would be to use EEtransfer and a plain terminal program
(hyperterm for example) to transfer text via Zmodem or plain text dump
(slower but does work).
