HELP!
Almost every support call that comes in is about the specifics of
loading a Package onto the Newton. Hopefully the below instructions
will help!

Newton Instructions for PC Users

Put CD in

Run Windows

Open the directory where the program is located that you will use 
to load packages. Newton Connection Kit, etc.

Click on "D" or CD Directory

You will see a  pkgs directory which contains all the packages.

You should see a readme.txt - open and read. 

To go to files
(all Newton files end in .pkg, text ends in .txt)
Open pkgs directory.

Pick a category, like GAME_EDU - double click. There will be 
1, 2 and ALL directories in it.
Pick the directory that contains packages for the Newton OS
you will use.
1 - Newton 1.x packages.
2 - Newton OS 2.x Required.
ALL - works on all Newtons.

Double click on a  directory. It Includes a .pkg file
for the Newton, and  read-me's. Always read the documentation
before loading.

To Install packages onto the Newton
Use the Newton Connection Utilities if you have a new Newton.

Apple's Newton Installer
Another alternative is to use Apple's Newton Installer.
Apple's Newton Installer (is called newtinst.exe) and is located
in pkgs/Pc-tools/1/Newtinst.EXE.

1.x users:
The newtinst.exe file is the one to use to install ALL Newton
packages (.pkg files) for 1.x users. Simply drag and drop 
packages on it to install them or-

Double click newtinst.exe file. Go to Menu at top of screen, to File,
and select Install Package. You'll be presented with a dialog box
asking what you want to install. You must navigate to that package.
Now, double click pkgs directory, then double click Game_edu and All
directory, and last, double click Smalquiz. Then, on the
left, you'll see Smalquiz.pkg. Just double click and it'll load into
your Newton using the serial cable. On the Newton, open the Extras
drawer, tap on Connection, select DOS or Windows PC, and hit Connect.
The package should now start loading. If there are problems, you may
have to play with the preferences in the newtinst.exe program.

2.x users:
You can use NCU if you are running a 2.0 system. 
Read the documentation that came with these tools to 
install packages.

Stuffit
As a result of the Totally Incomplete CD-ROM for Newton
becoming too full. We have had to leave the books 
compressed in Stuffit format. To decompress them use SITEX10. 

Stuffit expander is in the 
PDA11/PKGS/BOOKS/SITEX10.

Be sure you TURN OFF THE RESOURCE FORK SAVING.

Set the Options on Expander to
Cross Platform... MacBinary.... NEVER

Stuffing these files allows us to include more items and
you can use expander on the ftp files too!
