>> Hi,
>>
>> I'm writing to you about the Newton version of your Home Inspection
>> software. It appears from your website that you are abandoning your
> Newton
>> software in favor of WinCE...understandably.
>>
>> I belong to the NewtonTalk listserv, sponsored by Planet Newton
>> (http://www.planetnewton.com). It is a mailing list of approximately
> 1600
>> Newton users who self-support the Newton platform as a community effort.
>>
>> My question is, would you please consider releasing the Newton software
> as
>> unsupported freeware, or releasing the source code of the Newton product
>> (written in NewtonScript, not readily portable to any other device or
>> language) to the Newton community to support themselves? Many developers
>> (Adam Tow of Foundation Systems (http://www.atow.com), Burr Oak Software
>> (http://www.burroak.on.ca/newtonsr.html)), are releasing their software
>> source to the Newton community as a gesture of goodwill. We would
>> appreciate your help with this!
>>
>> Thanks for your time!

>> Regards,
>>
>> Gary
