NOTE: This software is for Newton 2.0 Newtons ONLY.

* What's it do?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	NotePad Converter puts an option in each notes Action Button. Choosing this option will give you a list of notepad types to convert the current note to.
		
* What's in this archive?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	There are two Newton software packages and two text files in
this archive. They are:
	* NPC.txt		document you're now reading. 'Nuff said.
	* NPC.pkg		software package you'll install on your Newton.
	* SASReg.pkg	software package you'll install on your Newton to Register.
	* SAStuff.txt	A list of all Stand Alone packages.

* Installing NotePad Converter
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	First off, you must get the NotePad Converter software package onto your
Newton. You can do this using the Newton Connection Utility (for Mac or
Windows), the Newton Package Downloader, or the Newton Backup
Utility. See the documentaion with each of these for more
information on installing packages with them.

* Using NotePad Converter
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	Choose the 'Convert Note' option from the Action Envelope. Select which type of not you wish to convert to. Tap the Copy or Convert button. If you convert a note, the converted note will be an exact duplicate with the exception of the type of note. If you copy the note the content of the note will be copied into a completely new note.

* Registering NotePad Converter
---------------------------------------------------------------------
	You have a 30 day trial period in which to examine NotePad Converter, 
during which it will function fully. Should you wish to register, 
you'll need to do one of the following:

	* Call us and pay using Visa or Mastercard. We can give you a 
		password right over the phone: instant gratification!  (773) 477-2492.

	* Send us a check for $10 to the address below.
		
	* Using CompuServe, GO SWREG #10202.
	
	* Using Flash Sheridan's Register program  and either NewtonMail (built into the Newton) or Catamount Software's Aloha (shareware, $50, for more info, contact Catamount at info@catamount.com). Open up Register, fill in the application (NPC:SAS), the amount ($10), and your credit card information, and email it.

your name, as entered in the Owner Info section of your Newton. 
This is used to generate the password we send you to unlock NotePad Converter,
