*** What is PackXTract ***

    PackXTract is a program that enables you to extract Newton 
    packages out of a NCK backup file. This is especially useful 
    if you got your Newton with preinstalled software, but you 
    don't have the install disks for the software.
    If you develop software or create Newton books directly on the 
    Newton, e.g. with Newt or Newt's Cape, then you'll be able to 
    extract your programs and books from your NCK backup file. 
    This will result in a stand-alone package which could be 
    distributed to others or kept as a backup.

    PackXTract lets you:
    -	Extract packages from NCK backup files.
    -	Get a list of packages contained in your NCK backup files.
    -	Get additional information about a package (useful for developers).
