There’s a neat little trove of Newton programming documentation in the UNNA mirrors site (of all places). Roger Milne compiled a bunch of PDFs (some of which we already have), plus some Newton 2.x OS Q&As from the Newton Inc site.

http://mirrors.unna.org/www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Code/5100/newton/fullpage.htm

There’s a sectioned copy of the Q & A in the Internet Archive as well:

The NewtonScript specific questions are here:

There’s also a bunch of Ask The Llama columns from Develop magazine, many of which have NewtonScript related tidbits.

I've added the Newton 2.x OS Q&As, linking to both the Internet Archive & UNNA mirrors (I found it's in the main archive as well at http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/developer/QAs-2.x/html/qa.htm, so I linked to that).

I'm a bit torn on the Ask the Llama column docs. It's kind of nice to see them separately, but we do already link to the develop issues that they're from, plus they're poorly formatted PDFs with some text cut off (plus the originals are currently available in HTML format from MacTech). That said, we could link to both versions. Thoughts?

If they were different than (or better versions of) the articles we already have, I’d say link to them as mirrors. Let’s keep the develop links as is.

We could link directly to the MacTech originals.

It doesn’t make sense to link to substandard versions.
