[NTLK] Restarting Newton development?!

[Steven Frank]

For whatever reason, it's a very appealing idea to me, and I'd love to help develop it.  My working knowledge of NewtonScript is unfortunately pretty thin, but I've got all the PDFs from UNNA for reference.  ;)  As you know, I speak C, C++, and Obj-C and am your person if you need Mac or iOS assistance!

They are both simulators (emulators take the ROM and interpret whatever they find, simulators are a new piece of software, that behaves to the outside as if it was the original - or at least close enough)
