I wrote Newthack way back in 1996/1997 when I was a young software engineer.

Hello Christopher! What a nice surprise to hear from you.

I added an entry for NewtHack to the Newton Glossary last year. I trust that it sounds alright.


I no longer have access to the source (darn zip drive!)

Do you simply not have a Zip drive anymore? Or is the disk itself lost to history?

no longer have access to the source (darn zip drive!) or the ability to generate codes for it.

If you still have the disk, it may be possible to still recover your files. There are a few people who specialize in data recovery and would likely do it for free.
