What is needed to run Newtonlink ?


Newtonlink is based on Perl, so you need a machine where Perl version 5.0 or later is running.

For the X-windows version of Newtonlink you need Tk version 4.1 or later.


On the Newton side you will need to have Sloup installed. Sloup is a great program by Steve Weyer to transfer datas to/from Newton soups via serial connection. Sloup is shareware and you have to register. The unregistered version of Sloup works, but is restricted to a serial speed of 9600 Baud !


For the -plan option you need the TimeDate Perl-Lib by Graham Barr. This lib is included as a tar.gz-file in the Newtonlink distribution and should be installed seperately.
