[NTLK] Einstein and old data

[Dan]

Wish I knew, but I will hunt around and see what I can dig up.

NCX might work, but for us with windows boxes, we are a bit on the sunk side.  NCU is 16 bit only and Einstein is 64 bit.  So we can't run NCU on a platform that Einstein can function on.  If Einstein could have a 32bit version that would work, then could run it in a Win98 or win2000 VM.  Or *should* work anyway.

If I knew what to read and where to write it, I could make Einstein connect to a Newton and sync whatever needs to be synched.
