Newt's Cape creates a book out of whatever it gets (HTML, PilotDOC, plain
text).
certain Pilot book applications create their own proprietary formats that
aren't DOC format.
in particular, the Peanut format/reader (which the Stephen King book
appeared in)
isn't viewable on Newton without either 1) some documentation of the format
and modification to PilotDOC plugin; or 2) vendor creates a Newton version
(which most
seemed uninterested in doing)
