actually no, NBU works with 2.0 Newtons for installing packages and
backing up and restoring files. It will only back up 1.x Newtons
for restoration on to 2.0 Newtons. As such it's a program fro
migrating between the two.
In any case, I just wanted to correct this. The alphabet soup of
Newton programs does get a bit confusing at times.
