I have uploaded newfile.tar to the UK incoming directory. Please use
this to create a new /macros/latex/contrib/supported/newfile directory.
The distribution is under the LPPL.
From the README
The newfile package provides convenient user level commands for reading
and writing new files during a LaTeX run.
i've installed the files as requested; thanks for the upload.
