+ Victor Rehorst suggested several fixes:
x Section VB1a, the links for my site (chuma.org) actually point to NCU
not NCK. The links should probably be moved down to section d
x Section VC1b - can't positive-number errors be caused by hardware
problems as well? (I [PG] updated the explanation)
x Section VD1b - NIE 2.0 only works with OS 2.1 - It provides extra
functions that NIE relies upon AFAIK.
x Section VD2d - NewtJabber at
<http://newton.guhl.net/newton/newtjabber/> [PG] Also updated the section
with NCQ
x Section IIIB3b - NewtDump can export In/Out box messages and notes to
ASCII text on any PC: <http://www.chuma.org/code/newtdump/>
x The link for QuickPort in that section is also dead. You might want
to add EETransfer as well. [PG] The server for QuickPort seems down. I put
a small comment and the AMUG link.
x Section VIB1 should have a link to VB2
+ Rewrote question IIIB7 about screen shots to add EETransfer.

although the server seems down.
