PackageBuddy by Rob Bruce & Michael Krzyzek, Copyright 1996 Tactile Systems, Inc.

Description
-----------
Quite simply, PackageBuddy adds Package exporting ability to your Newton.
For example, you're no longer using the Pocket Quicken which came with 
your Newton, but you're not sure if you want to delete it. Now you can export 
it to your Macintosh computer and recover that space on your Newton.
The windows server is almost done, it should ship soon.

We're releasing it as a freeware application to the Newton Community as our 
attempt to up the ante; there is too much shareware that costs more than it's
worth. It won't work with 1.x systems; upgrade to 2.0, it's worth it.

If you really really like it and want to send us money for beer and sushi, 
we won't complain. The address is listed below.

Thanks

Many many thanks go to Steve Weyer and Greg Simon, developers of NewtsCape. 
This product would have taken much longer to write had it not been for their 
generous help and donation of the package conversion function.
Thanks for Apple Computer and David Fedor, the product uses the DIL's for 
comms. David's assistance was most invaluable.

Tactile Systems is a full service Newton Systems Integrator/Newton Partner, 
winner of Apple's Premier System Integrators Award.. We do free initial 
consultations on custom Newton solutions. Our engineers have a combined eight
years worth of Newton programming experience to draw on.

PackageBuddy is an example of the shared communication engine we're currently
using in our vertical applications at Tactile. Another of the primary functions 
it servers is to allow us to export signatures and other graphical information 
from the Newton to your desktop machine as a PICT1 format. Because of Tactile's 
abundant code library, and help from Steve Weyer,  PackageBuddy was written 
in under six hours.
