[NTLK] Newton Connection Apps

[Tony Kan]

Sorry, I don't know what goes on under the hood/bonnet to be able to specify
which uses dock.

the MP130 was a Newton os v2.0 device, however NCK v 2.0 never delivered on

You are right; I need to find a better word than "sync". Newton 1 devices
would sync in the sense that if you changed a soup entry in your current
backup, that change would be reflected on your Newton next time you backed
up (synced?). That's not the same as the Synchronise function for
contacts/calendars in NCU.

I am looking specifically for applications that use the dock protocol; in
other words, communicate with the Newton Dock app (or Connection app in the
case of Newton OS 1.x). Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe
any non-Apple apps (except Paul Guyot's Escale, and NCX) use the dock
protocol.
