[NTLK] NetTime for 711000

[Sylvain Pilet]

Hi All,

Following the announcement of Jake Bordens on NetTime, I wanted to see for myself the code of this project. So I download the sources, as Jake said, at this address: http://www.unna.org/unna/development/nie2devin.zip

My problem is that this .zip contains a Windows version of the project. I can not open it on NTK Mac, even using FileTyper to associate the right types it does not open the project on Mac.
My question: Is there a trick (or tool(s)) to convert a Windows NTK project to NTK Mac?
