Description:
TidBITS#230/13-Jun-94 - Aldus and Adobe both figure in this issue, with a
rumor about FreeHand, a charting module from Aldus, and a new font
licensing policy from Adobe, which makes it easier for print shops to own
lots of fonts. We note the new version of CDU from Connectix and list
shipping software for the Power Macs (lots of international companies on
that list!). Rounding out the issue, Matt Neuburg and Adam focus on the
small Macintosh developer.

Description:
Nchess - NChess is designed to be a chess player's assistant. With NChess,
you can keep track of multiple games and multiple players. You can play
using one Newton (handing it back and forth), or you can play with two

against any Newton owners anywhere in the world so long as they have access
to NewtonMail. A later version of NChess will allow you to send and receive
text versions of a game. This makes it possible to play through the
internet with anyone. Please read the Beta Docs included with NChess for
information on how to use this version of NChess. NChess is simple to use,
but it is a good idea to browse through the docs before you get started.

status bar (compatible with other similar programs like StatusBar Buttons).

all notes in your current folder will pop up. Selecting one of those will
copy the selected text to the end of that note. At the top of the list are

Name = Mancala 1.1.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Mancala 1.1.sit

harder the landing spot, the more points it is worth. Obey your computer's
warnings of speed, and keep an eye out on your oxygen supply! One little
mistake and its the history books for you! Lunar Lander a deceptively
simple game. It takes most people several tries before they can even land
on the simpler spots. Try the spots to the right if you think you've got it
wired! I promise you that it's possible to land in the harder spots, I
landed in all the spots myself! Shareware!!

Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Bookcase.sit
Size: 5K Date: 6/20/94 Version:
Description:
Bookcase - This is another hack from Bill Kearney. It just lists all the
books currently installed in your Newton and lets you open them by clicking
on their name from it's list. The Find Only in Books box does just that. It
limits the find function to looking only in ALL books and nowhere else.
It's only while you're in Bookcase or in one of the books you've opened.
Shareware, $5.
Name = NewtonUnlock 2.1.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:NewtonUnlock 2.1.sit
Size: 10K Date: 6/16/94 Version: 2.1
Description:
NewtonUnlock 2.1 - NewtonUnlock is a small (9k) utility which allows you to
bypass the password protection on a Newton. There is also a 6k help file
that may be loaded for online help. If NewtonUnlock is stored on a card,
simply install the card when the Newton asks for the password. Wait for the
Newton to read the card, and "poof" you're into the Newton. If NewtonUnlock
is stored on the internal RAM, do a reset. The password screen will close
soon after opening, and you're into the Newton. Once into your Newton, run
NewtonUnlock from the "Extras" drawer and remove the password. This version
places logs in the notification to allow someone to check if their Newton
was broken into. Freeware.

Description:
XMaster 1.0 - X-Master is a Newton utility which allows you to quickly and
easily launch applets, books, and built-in functions without ever opening
the Extras drawer. It is unobtrusive and simple to use. X-Master's basic
design is similar to launching utilities such as Now Utilities NowMenus for
the Macintosh which provides a popdown list of applications and documents
to open. X-Master is small (roughly 9K) and therefore can be loaded into
either internal memory or onto a storage card. After installation, you will
see a small dot in the upper right (or left) hand corner of your screen.

Size: 17K Date: 6/13/94 Version: 1.01
Description:
TIWY 1.01 - Take It With You, Issue 1.01, April 1994. This Newton book is a
test venture to see if they really want to go in this direction. With this
first edition, they take a look as two Newton packages (both very useful

Name = Snake 2.6.sit

Name = Slurpee 1.0.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Apps:Slurpee 1.0.sit
Size: 34K Date: 6/13/94 Version: 1.0
Description:
Slurpee 1.0 - Slurpee transfers paragraphs or tab-delimited text between a
text file and Newton soup entries via a terminal emulator and serial
connection. I wanted a convenient way to move information from the desktop
to soups on the Newton, especially text paragraphs to separate Notepad
entries, and vice versa. Newton Connection Kit (NCK) is also a possibility,
though it is slower, more complicated, and expensive. Although Slurpee was
created primarily to support moving NewtonScript application/method sources
by users of my Newt application development tool, I thought that this
utility may be useful for others as well.
Name = SleepAid 1.2.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:SleepAid 1.2.sit
Size: 22K Date: 6/13/94 Version: 1.2
Description:
SleepAid 1.2 - SleepAid covers all aspects of power management on your
Newton (Classic, MP100, MP110 or German MP). It replaces the default
"Sleep" preferences allowing you to set two sleep times - one for battery
and one for AC. It lets you reboot or sleep your Newton even if some errant
application wants it to stay awake. And finally, it adds a SleepAidNow
corner for one tap sleep and a HeapStatus corner for an instant reading
of free heap space. SleepAid is not a radical change from the existing
interface. It adds functionality without complexity and implements sleep
the way it should have been in the first place.
Name = SetClock.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:SetClock.sit
Size: 13K Date: 6/13/94 Version:
Description:
SetClock - This small utility will set Newton's time by calling the
National Institute of Standards in Boulder, Colorado. It installs in the
Preferences roll and does not have an icon in the Extras drawer (although
you still use Remove Software to get rid of it.) The 'Options' button
brings up the Dialing slip which allows you to set your local area code, as
well as any dialing prefix, access code, or credit card information.
Tapping the 'Call' button initiates the call. Newton will hang up
immediately after receiving the time code. Now you can be sure that your
Newton's clock is always correct!

bill. You start by entering the total, including tax and everything. Enter
the tip rate - 15 percent...The tip will be calculated for you. Enter the
number of people to divide the bill by, and a table will appear. The great
thing is the Extras section. Say you go out to lunch and your friend orders
two drinks. You want to split the bill, but not pay for the drinks. Enter
the cost of the drinks, and how many. That money will be subtracted from
the split total. Then you each pay the split amount, and your friend throws
in the extra for the drinks. And now, you can link people (dates,
spouses...) and get your total versus your single friend's. Freeware!
Name = RUNewt 2.2.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Prog:RUNewt 2.2.sit
Size: 32K Date: 6/13/94 Version: 2.2

appear in a scrollable list (overview returns you to the top). Once you

Once another application is started, you can drag RUNewt out of the way, or
just close it. When you have deleted all RUNewt applications, the
"application soup" is removed. Currently, you create RUNewt-format
applications on your Newton either - by saving applications created by Newt
2.2 (or later) or by receiving a beam or mail from another RUNewt user. Now

Size: 12K Date: 6/13/94 Version: 1.0
Description:
QuickFind 1.0 - QuickFind automatically searches for text that is selected
(or text that was just entered) when the Find button is tapped. So to say
it makes the Find button work the same way as the Assist button does.
QuickFind also adds a check box to the find slip. As long as it is not
checked the Find or the All button in the find slip still has be to tapped
to start the search. If the check box is checked the search is started
automatically. There is another feature that QuickFind adds to the Find
function. The last ten terms that were looked up are listed in the 'Look
for' pop-up menu. Very handy!

application packages. Selecting one opens it. This is generally much faster
than the Extras drawer. Ope creates its list when opened. If you add or
remove an application, Ope will not know. You have to close Ope and reopen
it to have it notice the change. Version 2 adds the ability to specify
built-ins to be included in the popup menu and to specify applications to

drawer, but can be reinstalled at any time using NewtCase. With NewtCase,
you can temporarily deinstall applications without having to remove them
from your MessagePad. You could even keep a hundred applications on your 4
meg card without overflowing your heap space or Extras drawer. Definitely
read the documentation before using, or you may be sorry!

MailFix 0.41d8 - Fixes two deliberate NewtonMail bugs - It makes
NewtonMail’s views non-floating, so that the clipboard and things like
Erica Sadun’s Figgles keyboard are no longer disabled, and sets (after a
delay) the font and size to your default. Use with caution. Sometimes works
only partially in Dates. There are two other design errors I couldn’t fix -
Undo isn’t supported when you need it most, and the Close box sometimes
means “Save Changes” and sometimes means “Discard Changes.” The conjunction
of these last two NewtonMail misfeatures and MailFix’s working only
partially in Dates can be particularly annoying. Version 0.40d1 now works
with NewtonMail 1.2b. This is a beta. Freeware by FlaSheridn@eWorld.com.

Description:
KillFind 0.4 - Well, I don't know about you, but I really hate it when the
Newton goes wandering around in World looking for stuff. I basically only
want the Newton to search the Names and the Notes. With the advent of
books, it's a HUGE inconvenience waiting for it to finish with The Jungle
Book when I'm just looking for Rob's phone number! What it does - It
modifies the findApps slot. This is an array that the Newton looks through
when doing finds. It was a pain to find this stuff, not to mention how
irritated the Newton gets when you whack something it _really_ needs. Don't
write to ROM, it just irritates the ROM. <grin>. Pay the shareware fee!!

Description:
SysBeep - SysBeep is a small program to give you a different beep sound.
Two packages are included. One says "Uh OH", the other, "What the Hell?".
You may install only one package at a time. Just run it once after
installing (or reseting) to activate the new sound. It overrides the normal
System Beep routine. Now, when you get an alert, you will hear "Uh Oh" or
"What the Hell ?", instead of the alarm sound that you selected in the
Preferences Section. To cancel this new beep sound, you need to remove the
package or reset your machine. If you install it in internal memory (it's
about 12k), it won't holler at you when you remove a card. The sounds are
from AMUG's Ashley Barnard, and her mother, Joey Baker.

various packages are stored. The Directory soup is where MetaData is
stored. MetaData is the data that the NCK uses to display soups for
editting. WARNING - While the remove button gives you an chance to change
your mind (there is a confirm dialog), undo is NOT supported. If you remove
it, it is gone! This is also a good program to use if you want to snoop

TTime 1.2 - Ttime (tiny time) is a small program to give you a small
digital clock. It locates itself in the top left corner of the screen and
can be dragged to where ever. It updates the time every 60 seconds. No
need to restart it if you reset your Newton. It will automatically start.
Ttime floats above most all windows to stay visible. If it's not visible
over another floating window after 60 seconds, close and re-open it (tap
its Extra Drawer Icon twice). The top left placement was determined to be
where most Applications kept blank. However, there are a few that use
that spot, so you can drag it to where you want. There is no close box as
it would destroy the simplicity of Ttime.
Name = Signature.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Signature.sit

Description:
Signature - Contains two freeware programs - Signature and Signed.
Signature adds a new preference to the preference roll where the user can
put in their signature. It makes an entry in the userConfiguartion entry
called signature. I hope to include this in future ROMs and want to get
this out so that other applications (like the next one) can take advantage
of it. Signed takes advantage of Signature and adds a new print format to
the paper roll which provides for a letter format that automatically signs
the letter with the signature in the preferences.

Motile Demo - From the creators of "Columbo's Mystery Capers" and "Dell
Crosswords & Other Word Games" comes the first action-strategy game for the
Newton -- Motile! The Motile demo has complete on-line help, and four
sample levels to give you an idea of what the game is like. For each maze,
Moe has a set time limit to reach the goal. The clock does not start until
the first wall is placed or removed. Once you think you've found the
solution, release Moe, and hope he makes it to the star. The actual game
contains over 100 levels on a 1 MB PC-MCIA card, and will give you many,
many hours of fun. Before you try some levels, we suggest you tap the Quick
Start Info button first. We hope you enjoy it! It's fun!!

Description:
Memfree 0.91 - MemFree shows the amount of memory free as reported by
stats() -- that is, the amount of the NewtonScript heap that's free. The
number is kept up to date by a viewIdleScript (as long as the checkbox is
checked) and the GC button can be used to force a garbage collection if you
want to know the amount of memory that can be made free. It's (in my
opinion) a mildly annoying aspect of stats() that it prints more
information in the inspector window than it returns as a call. For that
reason, if you have the inspector open while MemFree is running, you will
get the output of the stats() call every 3 seconds. Source code is
included.

Llama Dos 1.12 - While the Newton is a tremendous design, it lacks a
feature found on most computers - a command line interface for system
management. Rather than invent a new interface for the Newton, LlamaDOS
implements the world’s most widely used interface, with well over 40
million users - DOS. The developers at RegSoft have done their best to make
sure that the quality and user friendliness of the DOS interface survived
intact on the Newton in their new product, LlamaDOS 1.12. With LlamaDOS, a
user can traverse directories, look at files and the status of their system

Description:
Icon Editor 1.1 - First off I'd like as many programmers as possible to use
it if they're doing icon editing of any sort, since this will reduce
overhead on a newt if multiple programs want to do this. If your a
developer, you can include this app in package form with your app at no
charge (just send me a copy). Pretty much useless to non-developers at this
point, except to play with. Icon Editor now complies with the 'accepted'
methods for routing and such (I cheated with version 1.0.) The most
important change is that icons are now saved as bitmaps (binary objects,
thanks Mike.)

AssistCalc 2.2 - AssistCalc was written to add many mathematical functions
to the Newton. For example, what if you want to calculate the following -
((57*6)+89) / log 5. This could be a pain on Newton's calculator.
AssistCalc allows the user to write out (not tap, tap, tap) your equation
and AssistCalc will try it's best to figure out an answer for you. You can
then copy the answer to where you need it. You can either use the
AssistCalc program, or write a problem anywhere, highlight it and click on
Assist. You will then be taken into the AssistCalc program, and the answer
will be given. AssistCalc can deal with math functions such as - acos(x)
asin(x) atan(x) atan2(x,y) cos(x) cosh(x) exp(x) log(x) log10(x) and more!

Rebate - Rebate returns some of the memory used on an original Newton
MessagePad when applications are loaded. In that version of Newton, the
install scripts and icon for an application took up place in the working
memory or frames heap. Load lots of applications and the loss of the memory
could be significant. Load this application as the first application in
internal memory and you should have more memory. Owners of MessagePad 100s

MemoryMassager - The prime purpose of this is to call a garbage collection
in your Newton's memory. In theory, such a garbage collection should get
rid of all the dross hanging around, and you may find that this staves off
the need to restart from time to time (when using version 1.02 of the
Newton OS). It incidentally includes information about free and total
memory, battery power, and battery compartment temperature, all of which
are available in other tools on the Newton. However, try tapping on the
temperature bar... Everything else should be self-explanatory.

Memory 1 and 2 - The memory utility provides a way to modify and change the
current frames heap memory. When you run memory it will monitor how much
frames heap is available every .5 seconds and display this information. It
will also keep track of the minimum amount of memory it sees. There are two
versions of memory. Memory2 will allow you to change how much memory is
available. This is intended to help developers test for low memory
conditions. You can only load one version of memory at a time. You can test
for low memory conditions in your applications by tapping the down arrow.
This will take away an additional 2000 bytes of memory each time you tap
it. You can return this memory by tapping the up arrow.

Description:
NewNote 1.0b7 - My Newton was beginning to frustrate me in that handwriting
recognition is far too slow to keep up with conversation. Ok, so I switched
to digital ink. Problem there was that once your digital ink note gets to
about 2 or 3 screen sizes, it takes a long time for the Newton to accept
it so that you can scroll down to the next empty screen. (Also, if you
get too long - like 4 or 5 pages - the note will be too long and the
Newton will not accept it.) Finally, the the gesture for creating a new
page is often mis-interpreted as a word, causing even longer delays!!!
newPage installs a button onto the Notes app's status bar which quickly
creates a new page and scrolls you down one screen so that you're ready!

NewBullet - This is a my rewrite of an old (wow, 5 months) program called
Bullet. This version should work on all Newtons, and should be compatible
with other programs that put buttons on the status bar (like NotePak).
Basically, the program puts a button on the Notes status bar. This button,
when pressed, inserts a return and a bullet into the text. Make sure you
have an insertion point! Just tap on the screen where you want the bullet,
then press the button. Nice for making lists in the Note pad.

Discount 1.01 - This is a very simple discount calculator. It allows you to
enter a price and two discount percentages. It will then show you values of
the price less the calculated percents. All you need to do is enter your
price in the upper right field. Use the pen or the keyboard, both will
work. Then you can enter one or both percentages. Bear in mind that these
are whole numbers that will be used as percentages. It's rather
difficult to get the Newton to recognize a leading period, so I decided
against using them. The calculations are fully dynamic. As you type, the
sums will recalc. If you scrub out a value, it will blank the sum. When you
load this package, tap on Formulas in the Extras drawer to access.

you can find out what you missed. Of course, you could read (but not copy)
the last three messages by undoing twice and trying to undo a third time,
then tapping the Up Arrow, but you might not know that, or might not want
to undo twice. It also shows the free system memory figure given by
stats(), which is unrelated to the figure given in Prefs. Changes - Should

button. With the advent of the Newton Digital BookMaker software, we put
together a sample Periodic Table in Newton Digital Book format. This allows
you to search the book for certain chemical elements. Data included in the
PTE "Lite" package includes Atomic Number, Atomic Weight, Symbol, Name,
Electron Configuration, and Oxidation States. This is also much FASTER than
the original application, and you can use the standard overview button to
bring up a scrolling list of the elements. Tap on one of 'em, and you're
there!
Name = PrefsPatcher 1.0.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:PrefsPatcher 1.0.sit
Size: 8K Date: 3/24/94 Version: 1.0
Description:
PrefsPatcher 1.0 - Prefs Patcher is a small patch for the Newton MessagePad
which corrects what we consider an annoying user interface "feature."
Namely, that you have to click twice to exit the Prefs or Formulas rolls.
When you install Prefs Patcher, it replaces the close box in these rolls
with one that works PROPERLY, requiring only one click to close the roll.
You can still click on the overview button to get back to the overview. The
application also places a dual-function button on the notepad status bar
for one tap access to the Formulas and Prefs rolls.

Description:
Pit 1.2 - I programmed PIT to time scripts and music in the storyboard
phase for Interactive multimedia projects, and for video productions. In
this version I have limited the number of intervals to 24 to reduce memory
needs. I have also added accumulated totals for the interval times. This is
necessary to help in the programming phase of multimedia where you need to
time intervals from a reference point. Pit is designed to time intervals
while the script or sound track is being played back or read. The intervals
collected are used to design each animation or set of images for accurate
storyboards.

MAKE NB6 - This is Part 6 of HOW TO CREATE BOOKS FOR YOUR NEWTON, an
ongoing series of articles aimed at non-technical folks who want to create
digital books for their Newton MessagePads, Sharp ExpertPads and all
subsequent devices with Newton Intelligence. In this addendum, I rush out a
fix to articles #2 & 3, and add some explanatory trivia to article #3.

Description:
MAKE NB5 - This is article 5 of the series - Making Newton Books - It tells
every step of setting up the BookMaker and Newton ToolKit software, and
every step of compiling any book. This fixes the current complaints that
folks have about setting up their Claris folder. The Claris folder is where
BookMaker looks to find translators that allow it to read any kind of
word-processing document. The author's goal for this series is to support
the creation of solid, simple books that are equivalent to the books you
might find on the shelf in a mall bookstore.

MAKE NB4 - I have no intention of making this article a technical
masterpiece. There is an official, fully-detailed technical manual
(code-named "Dickens"), available for a mere $800. It also includes the
Newton ToolKit and BookMaker. I have a different goal. I want to help
average, reasonably- clever people publish their own, simple books for the
Newton. If you stop by the library or the local mall bookstore, the shelves
are full of books that are quite useful despite their lack of animation and
hypermedia features. This article simply tells the most common and
essential dot commands that will instruct BookMaker where to put a title
of a chapter heading for a simple book.

Description:
MAKE NB3 - This is Article 3 of the series on making Newton Books. It is
the most important one. It gives hints about removing spurious characters
(referred to as "filtering") and changing primitive, ugly characters to the
kind of typographic characters that are built into every Newton. There are
a lot of judgment calls that you will be needing to make, and I hope to
cover most instances. THIS IS NOT A PLAIN TEXT FILE. It is in MS Word 5
format, and created on a Macintosh. After much debate, I decided to include
formatting examples, which would be impossible to show in any other format.

MAKE NB1 - This is part one of a series of files designed to help anyone
make their own "NewtonBooks." I've been working hard every day to bring
these tutorials to the world at large, because my dream is to see hundreds
of thousands of books in a form readable on Newton MessagePads, Sharp
ExpertPads and future products with "Newton Intelligence." MakeNB 2
contains many, many tips on filtering text so that it "reads right" on the
Newton's tiny screen, explanations of dot commands, and miscellaneous
topics such as how to get your pictures to look their best on the Newton's
LCD screen. You'll need the Newton Toolkit 1.0b7 or higher (a commercial
program). Or, log onto AOL, and you can find folks to compile for you!

Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:HeapIt 1.0.sit
Size: 11K Date: 3/24/94 Version: 1.0
Description:
HeapIt 1.0 - HeapIt is a small utility for the Newton MessagePad that
removes InstallScripts from the system heap. The Newton OS leaves the
install scripts in the heap, even though they are only used once. We're not
sure why it does this, but if you have 10-20 apps installed, that's a lot
of heap space! HeapIt also provides a heap space display on the Card/Backup
slip and allows you to run HeapIt from there.When you run HeapIt, it will
list the available heap space (HeapIt uses some of the heap itself when it
runs). If you wish to purge the heap of InstallScripts, click on the "Kill
All InstallScripts" button. HeapIt will remove the InstallScripts one by
one, updating the heap status as it goes. Rebooting will reload scripts.

control over your newton's little world. Ok, so all it does is reboot the
newton, but it accomplishes this in a new and unique way. Not only do you
get a nice little icon of a "failsafe" cover, but clicking on the icon
reveals a big friendly-looking button that "nukes" the screen and reboots
when pressed. Oh yea, just in case you carelessly leave the failsafe cover
open don't worry; it will close by itself about 6 seconds after it was
opened. This program falls into the category of "cute, but not extremely
useful, by-products of my learning process." Feel free to send comments or
offers to improve on my artwork.

could be done with arcade-like animation. This game is more of a
programming demo for the us then anything else, but we thought other people
might find it entertaining. Your mission in this game is to defend your
cities from waves of ICBM's. This is accomplished with the defense missiles
you have. Because of tracking stations already destroyed in the war, you
can only track two of your missiles at once. This means you'll have to
choose your shots wisely. Have fun and save your cities!

places a small dot in the upper right area of the Newton screen that allows
quick access to the styles palette. I wrote it primarily for my own use as
I found all other similar type applets not quite right for my own needs. It
is small, unobtrusive, and, as far as I can tell, bug free. Once installed,
tap on the little fountain pen nib icon and it will place a small dot in
the upper right area of the Newton screen. When you tap on this dot, which
is always available from any app, it instantly brings up the styles
palette. Tapping on it again puts the styles palette away.

been steadily improved as it's been used as a test ground for new
approaches to Newton software. We envision a version 1.4 that will link
Shopping List to the Find and Intelligent Assistance features of Newton.

Now whenever the card is put into a Newton, a password screen will open
asking for the password. Upon entering the proper password, Safe Guard will
open itself if someone placed the card into a Newton. Safe Guard will not
open if there is not a log of bad attempts. You may tap any of the bad

the available stores on your Newt (or an onion — er — union soup if you
have a card) and will pour it down the serial port at 9600-8-N-1. Pour
sends the soup as text, with frames enclosed between braces and their
entries labeled and arrays enclosed between square brackets. Pour came
about for two reasons. First, I wrote a little app to keep track of the
hours I spend working for my various clients (anyone who would like a copy,
please ask — I haven't distributed it just because I haven't yet decided
just what I want to do with it) and then realized that I probably didn't
want to let the data accumulate in my Newt forever. Hence Pour!

Password - Password is a small utility for quickly turning on an off
password protection on the Newton. Its icon in the extras drawer indicates
whether password protection is currently turned on or off. Click on
its icon to toggle the state. The built-in way of turning on/off password
protection is somewhat cumbersome, especially if you do it often. To turn
off password protection you use Prefs, enter your old password, and leave
the new password line blank. To turn password protection back on, you
return to Prefs and reenter your password. The Password utility is so much
easier!! Use of Password is free of charge.

Mail Numbers 1.0demo - With a NewtonMail account, a Newton, a modem, and a
phone line you can stay in touch no matter where you go. Unfortunately,
accessing NewtonMail while you are on the go isn't as easy as using the
Newton itself. The biggest problem is that, as you move around the country,
the phone number you have to dial to access NewtonMail changes from city to
city. Of course, Apple provides a booklet listing all of the current
NewtonMail phone numbers for each city, but that booklet takes up valuable
travel space. Wouldn't it be great if there were a piece of Newton software
that would let you change your NewtonMail phone number with just a few taps
of the pen? Well there is! And, you just downloaded it! Demo.

Description:
MagicApp 1.0 - Here it is folks. The Newton utility program that will start
to make Newtons independent of desktop computers and cables. Magic App will
allow you to - Move applications between the Newton's internal storage and
external storage cards; Beam applications to another Newton; and Remove
applications with a single tap of the pen. The only caveat is that Magic
App is constrained by how much working memory the Newton has. This working
memory is called the Frames Heap Memory. It is a fixed size so you can only
move and beam fairly small applications. Currently, 20-30K. HOWEVER, Apple
has said they will be fixing this limitation so on future Newton devices,
you may be able to beam much larger applications with this utility.

Description:
Brain 2.0 - Battery Brain for Newtons monitors your battery level and can
alert you if the battery level drops below a user-defined threshold. If
you've used your Newton a lot, you already know how quickly it can eat
through batteries. But, you will probably be surprised at how fast your
battery life decreases once your batteries drop below a certain level.
Battery Brain monitors that decrease and will warn you as your batteries
become weaker and weaker. Battery Brain will also automatically turn off
sounds and the "Receive beams automatically" setting at user defined levels
to help conserve battery power. This version is a complete rewrite from the
ground up, with many changes!

Description:
Biorythms 1.0 - The biorythm theory is based on the assumption that the
human body has inner clock or metabolic rythms with constant cycles of
time. Currently, three cycles starting at birth in a positive direction are
postulated. The 23-day or physical cycle relates with physical vitality,
endurance and energy. The 28-day or sensitivity cycle relates with
sensitivity, intuition and cheerfulness. The 33-day or cognitive cycle
relates with mental alertness and judgement. For each cycle, a day is
considered either high, low or critical. Now your Newton can display a two
week biorythm after you input your name, birthdate and date to calculate.
Biorythms also takes advantage of Newton's Assist function!

Extras drawer. IceBox gets around that. It presents a scrolling list of
your programs, allowing you to open those that you can't see in the drawer.
Also included is minimize, which lets you have access at all times to the
your list of programs. You must install these two before you've hit the
limit of 30 (so you can see them and launch em). Caution, I've heard that
loading up your Newton can cause a System Heap problem, and problems down
the road. Just don't put 60 programs on!! If you start noticing problems
(rebooting often...), just reduce your amount of applications!

CopyMachine 1.00 - Before you have a RAM card (PCMCIA card), all of your
notes, to do's, addresses and calendar things are stored on the Newton's
internal memory. Once you obtain a PCMCIA card, there is no easy way to
transfer your personal data to the card (to free internal memory or what
have you). CopyMachine lets you do just that. After you launch it, it shows
how many notes, addresses...you have, and where they are stored. You can
then transfer all or some of the items to the PCMCIA card. Or from the card
to the internal storage. This was originally written to help those who were
using a US Newton, and then obtained a local (German or..) Newton, and
wanted to transfer their personal items without backing up.

Description:
AddDic2.0 - The Newton has a lot of potential, but the recognition
dictionary in the first versions is appalling. Having to use the
soft-keyboard to type stuff in all the time is a drag. And then it asks you
if you want to add the word to the User Dictionary as well! This really
gets in the way. AddToDict is a small Newton application that allows
multiple additions to your User Dictionary in one sitting. It also has a
couple of other goodies. 2.0 has some System management features and
automatic addition from your "Notes" and "Names". Take a look at the "Pro"

Souper 1.1 - As I began to work with, and develop software for the Newton,
I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't clear out a file ("Soup")
easily. I had to delete each record ("Entry") individually, so I started to
write an application that would clear out a Soup. Once I got started, I
began to add other things to my 'wish list' and the package you now have
grew out of that list. Within the Souper application you have the ability
to select the "Store" on which you want to work and the Soup you wish to
operate on. You may rename a given Soup, Delete an entire Soup, Clear all
entries out of a Soup, or get information about a Soup. The functions
Rename, Remove, and Clear operate as you would expect.

Internals pkg and source code - When first starting Newton development I
fiddled around with some basic principles, like lists. ProtoTextLists
seemed pretty interesting, but the sample was a little too simple. So I
extended this code a little, cleaned it up and discovered/learned a lot
during this work. I must say though that I wrote this a month ago, did some
major Newton development after that, relooked at the code again yesterday,
and cut at least one third of the code and slots! I hereby give this code
away for free, not because it's a great wonderful tool (far from), but
because it might give other novices some help.

Description:
Tiny Timer 1.0 - Tne thing that really surprised me about the built-in
applications in the Newton MessagePad was that there was no timer to time
phone calls, meetings or the usual items that we like to keep track of. As
a result, I threw together this simple timer for all of us Newton
"Pioneers" to use. It is indeed tiny, taking up just a small amount of the
precious real estate in the built-in RAM. This is kinda cool. Even if your
Newton MessagePad goes to sleep to save on batteries, the timer will keep
running. When you turn the Newt back on, you'll be pleasantly surprised to
see the time still ticking away. The interface is as simple as possible.

Sleeper 10d3 - Sleeper basically puts your Newton to sleep on demand (No,
it doesn't work on children). The Sleeper view is a draggable view, so it
can be moved wherever you like. The standard PowerManager routines have
been added, so that you can quit after you hit the sleep button. This is
nice so you won't see Sleeper when you turn on your Newton. The author also
added a dumb little icon (in his own words)., and reaadjusted the floater
window and buttons to look a little better.

Name = Sam's Sleeper 1.00.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:Sam's Sleeper 1.00.sit
Size: 8K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1.00
Description:
Sam's Sleeper 1.00 - Sam's Sensable Sleeper, when turned on, detects
whether you are operating by plug or by battery. You may then set the sleep
time on your Newton based on whether you are using the plug or the battery.
Thus, if most of the time you use the plug (at your office where your plug
is, perhaps), you can set sleep to never. When you then carry it around off
the plug, you can have the sleep be, say, 1 minute. This way, you don't
have to always dive through a zillion menus just to reset the sleep. You do
it once with this package and the package will do it for you from then on
(if you turn it on).
Name = RPMDemo1.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Prog:RPMDemo1.sit
Size: 12K Date:11/10/93 Version: 1
Description:
RPMDemo1 - RPMDemo1 is a sample Newton program posted in source form as an
example for aspiring Newton programmers. It demonstrates techniques for the
following - Show two floaters (protoFloatNGo views); Each floater allows
the user to input text by writing in a protoInputLine field inside the
floater. Each floater can be dragged by starting at any point in the
floater that is not inside the protoInputLine. When information in either
floater is changed, the main view updates its display. Specifically, the
text entered in the first floater is repeated N times, where N is
determined by a number entered in the second floater. Input fields use two
undocumented font styles (tsCondense and tsShadow). And More!

Name = PlaceSettings.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Util:PlaceSettings.sit
Size: 8K Date:11/10/93 Version:
Description:
PlaceSettings - This Newton Place Settings utility was written because the
author lives in Seattle and his city isn’t in the Time Zones list. Yeah, he
could choose Portland, but it just wasn’t right. Also, he prefers using the
24-hour time, and didn’t want to choose a French Canadian locale to get it.
Place settings helps you tell the Newton where you really live (you'll have
to know the lattitude and longitude or your local airport), and how you
like your time (12 hour or 24 hour). Complete instructions are included.

(i.e. reverse-polish notation or RPN) calculator for the Newton MessagePad.
MyCalculator has not been thoroughly tested. Use it at your own risk. If
you are calculating something important, double-check your results with
some other variety of calculation. Numbers are restricted to six digits
after the decimal point, mostly so that they'll fit on the screen. The use
of the number and operator keys should be pretty obvious since all of the
stack is visible on the screen. Includes full documentation.

the Newton. If you are having troubles in your life and just don't know
where to turn, ask Mr. Advisador and he will gladly offer advice. Changes
since 1.4.1 - Fixed spelling errors. Changes since 1.4 - Fixed broken
install script, which made Mr. A not work at all. Other fixes - Mr.
Advisador can now be installed on a RAM card and not complain when the

Name = Boppin.sit
Path = AMUG CD:Files:Newton:Game:Boppin.sit
Size: 11K Date:11/10/93 Version:
Description:
Boppin - Boppin' is just a simple app that I threw together over the course
of the past week (less than 20 hrs all together). BEWARE - If you get to
caught up in the game, you can ruin your screen by tapping too hard. So, be
careful. The program when being played uses the idle script. This will
cause extra use of your batteries. Once your game is over the idle scripts
are cleared so that it stops sucking your battery dry. It does not go
extremely fast, but it is noticable. Please email me for suggestions or
just to let me know you got it (I want to see how far it goes).

Size: 13K Date:11/10/93 Version: 2
Description:
Bomber (2) - Welcome to Bomber -- a tiny program of questionable taste. It
presents three radio buttons, an editable text field, and a push button.
The buttons are labeled "Moscow", "Washington DC", and "Other" where you
can write in anything you want to. When you push the button, a floating
window pops up saying that the indicated city won't bother you any more.
Why on Earth would an ordinarily compassionate and sane person write
something like this. Over the last 12 years, the first program the author
has written for many computer systems and programming environments has been
Bomber -- a childhood weirdism gone horribly wrong.

Newton Connection on the Macintosh? Or have you managed to transfer your
contacts from your company database into your Newton Connection Software?
And then you wanted to call or fax somone and Newton didn't recognize the
name correctly? So you had to add it to your word list (i.e. user
dictionary) manually?!?! Never again! AutoDict “automagically” scans your
Names ‘soup’ for new entries and adds the corresponding names (Company,
First, Last,..) to your word list. So the next time after you download new
addresses from your Mac just go to the Extras drawer, tap AutoDict and tap
the “Add Names to Dictionary” button. Then Newton will recognize them!
