Thanks to everyone who've sent me mail regarding "B-LINK" the BASIC PC ->
NEWTON data transfer program.
In order to help other developers create programs to convert xBASE,
WordPerfect mail lists, and other file formats into the "B-LINK.DAT"
format (which can be loaded into B-LINK then sent to the NEWTON) I
have created the following file layout information for "B-LINK.DAT".
The file layout is pretty self-explainatory. The SAMPLE DATA is actual
data taken from the "B-LINK.DAT" file which is included with the package.
The "B-LINK.EXE" package is available in LIB 6. B-LINK is a BASIC program
which allows you to send names, appointments, and notes to the NEWTON
from a PC under DOS (it will also work under a DOS box from Windows
and OS/2).
