Newport appears to work well under WINE (using Puppy Linux operating system).
As Puppy Linux can boot from a CD/DVD (excepting if you have a late Windows system that locks out booting from CD/DVD), conceptually you could have a bootable Newport CD of sorts - and just store the Newport data files on a USB or HD.
Puppy Linux can also be set to create save-files, so in concept at least the Newport data files could even be saved back to the CD/DVD. IIRC Puppy Linux achieves that somewhat unique feature as it only writes/burns part of the CD/DVD. http://puppylinux.org/main/How%20NOT%20to%20install%20Puppy.htm note in using CD/DVD: you can also save to the same CD/DVD that you booted from (Here, DVD works better, but the DVD containing Puppy must be burned initially as "not final", i.e., that more files can be added to it
