There are several. Personally, I like newtoneers :-)

If NCU will install packages for you, then NCK is the wrong version for
your Newton and you don't need to worry about it not working.
I'm an SF writer too, and last year I wrote an entire novel on my Newt. I
admit I wasn't using NCU/windows, but I did text export of notes (not
NewtonWorks documents) every day; NCU/mac and nXchange/linux were my
main connections to the Newt.
On NCU on the computer (it never seems to work when initiated from the
newt) choose "export", tell it you want notes and not all of them but
selected ones, and let it prompt you through the process. With NCU/mac
choosing RDF format works best; I'm not sure which is best for NCU/win.
If this doesn't work for you, post the error message you get and exactly
what behaviour you see, and we can go from there.

Doesn't bother me either way, and I've sent questions both ways and got
answers :-)
