Imagine if you will a world in which the Newton could seemlessly interatice with XML applications:

[The members of the DECL Group] are very pleased to announce DCL PrelimBinaries.

These binaries exhibit some of the coolest features of the Desktop Connection Library, our long-term project aimed at replacing Apple's libraries and applications to connect to and transfer data with the Newtons.

It includes:

• NewtonScript DTD that explains how to represent Newton data in XML
• NSOF to XML converter, a MacOS and MacOS X application to convert data from the Newton format (in .nwt attachments for example) to XML
• Notes XSL to convert Newton Notes from abstract XML to readable XHTML and an applescript droplet to easily use it
• Dock TCP/IP with ZeroConf support
• Delivery, a MacOS X package installer with AppleTalk and RendezVous

You'll find them on the official DCL home page:

Of course, you can expect more from the DCL Group in the next weeks.
