Re: [NTLK] Installing Newton Toolkit(I give up) on the Mac and the Hiroshi drivers

I redownloaded the program from the UNNA archives. Apparently there's two
parts, one with those things that need to be dropped into a folder, and one
with the actual application. The application shows up like a piece of paper
in the emulated Mac screen and doesn't do anything. Apparently my disk image
is too small as well since I can't put it anywhere. It doesn't act like an
application. I can't put it in any extentions folder and the instructions
don't say anything about that. The instructions are pretty much useless. Has
anyone installed this on OS7.5?
Is there some sort of guide beyond "drag this folder to a closed system
folder"?
Otherwise, I pretty much give up on this futile and frustrating project

Anyways, I was trying to get a look at the source code for Hiroshi's drivers
with the toolkit and Newton C++ tools, but it looks like this is a fuitile
attempt.
Can anyone get the code into readable format?
