[NTLK] NewtonWorks formats?

[Craig Bradley]

After a bit of reinstalling, rebuilding etc of various apps I can confirm that the list below is a mixture of installers. NCU 1.0 installs only Text and RTF. eMate Classroom Exchange installs many of these including Newton Works. Clarisworks 4 and 5 install all of them EXCLUDING Newton Works.

So there is a way of getting them all by installing ClarisWorks 4 or 5 AND the eMate Classroom Exchange software.

Whether you’re using NCU or eMate Classroom Exchange or the Newton Works Converter program, you’re going to limited to what formats are supported according to which XTND translators are installed on the host computer.
