I don't know exactly, but it *might* be a container of NSOF (Newton
Streamed=20
Object Format) objects. NSOF is documented in Chapter 4 of Newton
Formats:

http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/developer/NewtonFormats1.1.
pdf

This is also the format of those .nwt attachments that you can e-mail.

The Mac and Windows versions of NCU/NBU create differently formatted
backup=20
files though, so maybe they don't use NSOF.
