DyneTK, the Dyne Toolkit
What's up with the name DyneE5?
Introduction to DyneTK
NewtonScript is a great programming language, and writing applications for the Newton can be a lot of fun. The original Newton developers IDE, NTK, has long been abandoned by Apple and will not work on OS X or Linux. The MS Windows version is also hardly usable due to a problematic serial line connection.
DyneTK strives to be a modernised and compatible IDE to NTK. DyneTK compiles and runs on all major platforms natively (Linux, OS X, MSWindows), supporting both MSWindows and Mac .ntk project files. It is currently powerful enough for writing small to medium applications, downloading them to a MessagePad or EInstein, and some light debugging.
DyneTK is OpenSource under GPL2 and can be modified and extended to support new features.
