Hi all,
I'm new to the list. Been using Newts since the 100, just started looking
for fellow newton users. Currently sporting an eMate (upgr).
I have WinNCU hooked up to 3 PC's (133mhz, 333mhz and 700mhz). They are
reliable in that order as well. I suggest that you try to use NCU from an
old PC 133-300mhz. After that the serial bus speed difference and the power
of the CPU really makes the transfers a pain. I haven't ever used that
slowdown.exe, but I can install packages on the 700 (at 9600 baud) but
nothing else. I get the same error, it quits right after the it starts to
export. It is not the document format or size, it is the bus speed
difference on modern PC's. It seems the Macs don't share our troubles. I
have an old 8500/180 Power Mac here and I have yet to use NCU on it. The GF
won't let me within 10 feet of it (she is quite protective). Err, sorry to
stray off topic.
Bottom Line. Sam, find an old PC with Win 9.x on it (Pentium 133-300).

Sam,
I've transferred files to and from Word RTF files into NewtonWorks with no
problems using WinNCU.
Can you outline the steps you used?
You mentioned that you broke up the main file. How big are the files you
are transferring?
When you have no success, is there any progress on the progress bar during
the transfer? Does the connection time out? Is there any error?
I can try to help on direct email if you want.
