Re: [NTLK] Use XML?

I did skim that before I posted. It seems a little obtuse.... I suppose that
if I could implement a reader/writer on the Newt and a converter for
Win/Mac, it'd be worth it. I need to dig into the available Newt development
languages/ kits to see which one makes working it "easy".

Thanks.

I would use Newton Streamed Object Format (NSOF) as defined in Newton
Formats

It's the format used to stream data to NCU and to store Windows NTK
projects. It's cross-platform, very compact, and easy to implement a
reader/writer.
