Re: [NTLK] Additional functionality for NCU, NewtonPress, etc.

Matt, my friend, it works (obex) flawlessly.

Attention all Windows users, if you have a machine with an Ir port, then
give up the leash. I have posted many, many, many times about headin' over
to 40hz.org to get your goodies. Once there it doesn't take much to figure
out what you need and how to do it...

Matt call me to setup a time and I'll walk you through it... And then you
can transfer any file type to and from, the only issue then is application
compatibility...

Subject: [NTLK] Additional functionality for NCU, NewtonPress, etc.

Eric's question brings up an interesting point -- namely, the need for
additional fucntionality in apps that work between the Newton and the
desktop.

Many of the text apps for Newton are quite limited as to what they can do.
It would be really nice if there were a way to reverse engineer the NCU and
add more features. I don't mean Wi-Fi or BlueTooth connectivity
-- I could care less about that. I mean, it would be nice if the NCU could
handle importation of other file formats. If any wireless issue were
addressed in NCU, I'd like to see the code re-written so that files could
more easily be transferred between the Newton and other Windows devices,
such as the Pocket PC. (By the way, does anybody know how well the Obex
thing works with Windows XP? Never got it working myself). It would also be
nice if NewtonPress had more editing features, such as a Select All command.

I don't think I'll ever have the necessary prowess to make this happen, but
maybe someday somebody will investigate these issues...
