Oh, right, I see (maybe...) So what is needed is: 1) An interpreter for the NewtonOS byte code 2) A mechanism to "run" the Newton ROM and execute the bytecode And (1) you already have, and (2) is done by "running" a real Newton ROM in an emulation of the Newton h/w environment - this works, but is slower than we'd like. So the plan is to replace (2) with a native re-implementation of the Newton ROM, based on the known API, and then it will all run much faster and be (I assume) free of Apple IP? Is that about right?
